Answer:
a. Heterozygous individuals may pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to offspring.
Explanation:
Tay-Sachs, which is a recessive lethal disease ---- Let say the recessive lethal diseases is s
∴ it only results when an individual posses two copies of the diseases-causing allele i.e two copies of the disease will be ss.
Now, when two hetrozygous individuals crossed , it is obvious that each can pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring.
Let show an illustration for the above statement.
Let the heterozygous individual be Ts, if Ts cross with another Ts;
we will have:
Ts × Ts
T s
T TT Ts
s Ts ss
the offspring are TT,Ts,Ts,ss
We can now see how the Heterozygous individuals pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring (Ts).
The likelihood that the first two offspring of the cross will have congenital analgesia would be 1/16
<h2>Autosomal Recessive Traits</h2>
For autosomal recessive traits, two recessive alleles are needed for the trait to manifest while one recessive allele means heterozygosity.
In this case, let us assume that congenital analgesia is represented by the allele b; heterozygous individuals will, thus, be Bb.
Bb x Bb
BB Bb Bb bb
Probability of producing unaffected offspring = 3/4
Probability of producing affected offspring = 1/4
Likelihood of the first two offspring having congenital analgesia = probability of first having congenital analgesia and the second having congenital analgesia
= 1/4 x 1/4
= 1/16

Answer:
The placebo effect
Explanation:
The placebo effect in psychology refers to a situation in which participants in a research receive beneficial effects due to the administration of an inactive substance or a sham treatment. The positive beneficial effect received can then be attributed purely to believe and not to the treatment itself. A placebo treatment could produce a real healing effect like a true medical or psychological treatment.
The participants who received the sugar believed it to be a memory enhancing treatment hence the slight increase in memory capacity due to placebo effect.
