Answer:

The probability will be 25% (1/4)

Explanation:

Schilder's syndrome is a degenerative and progressive lethal disease caused by the demyelination of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. Since it is a lethal recessive autosomal disease, both the father and the mother have a single copy of the mutant allele, thereby the probability of obtaining a lethal combination will be:

SN X SN >>

1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4 = 25%

Which two of your senses are linked together (i.e., influence your perception of both)?
Oduvanchick [21]

The correct answer is smell and taste.

The sense of taste and smell are related to one another because they have the same types of receptors. Odor comes from the molecules that is present in the air that stimulates the receptors that is present inside the nose. If one is not able to smell the or its sense of smell is non functional then it cannot have the sense of taste for the same food. This is caused due to the relationship between the smell and taste receptors.
