Answer 1

The answer is Tay- Sachs disease.

Answer 2

The correct answer is Tay-Sachs disease.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disease that causes the degeneration of the nervous system. This disease only expresses itself if an individual has two recessive copies of a particular gene that cause this disorder.

The reduced level or absence of an essential enzyme beta-hexosaminidase causes this disorder.

Thus, the correct answer is Tay-Sachs disease.
