Answer 1

A and D are acceptable answer since both are genetic disorders and inbreeding may increase the chance the offspring with exhibit these genetic disorders

Answer 2

Answer: a.albinism—a genetic disorder that causes the absence of skin pigment.

d.hemophilia—a genetic disorder that prevents blood from clotting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inbreeding is the process of mating between the genetically identical organisms so as to produce the offsprings which are viable and fertile. In inbreeding the traits are passed from the parents to their offsprings. The diseases and disorders are also passed on from the parents to the offsprings.

Albinism is a kind of congenital disorder which is characterized by the absence of pigment in the skin, eyes and hair. The lack of pigmentation in the skin can make the skin susceptible to the skin cancers and sunburns. It is an inherited disorder from parents by the process of inbreeding.

Hemophilia is also a congenital disorder which is inherited from parents. In this condition the blood clotting proteins are not produced in the body as a result of this blood loss occurs after injuries.
