Answer:

Gap junctions.

Explanation:

Gap junctions may be defined as the intercellular connection present between the cells of the animals. They are made of the connexons and present in all cells of the body except skeletal muscles.

The small molecules and ions can easily pass through the gap junctions. The neighbouring cells can pass the molecules and communicates with each other through the gap junctions. They are known as macula communicans. Invertebrates have the gap junction made of innexin.

Thus, the answer is gap junctions.

Answer:

Recessive

Explanation:

A recessive disorder is expressed in a homozygous genotype only. Most of the recessive disorders are not expressed as the expression of the recessive allele is masked by a dominant allele in the heterozygous state. However, breeding between close relative (inbreeding) increases the homozygosity in the population and allows the expression of recessive alleles that were otherwise not expressed in the population.

According to the given information, the disease is rare and is mostly expressed in the progeny obtained by mating between closely related individuals (the first cousins). Therefore the disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern.
