was also having trouble swallowing. After testing, the doctor found that Wilondja has

nerve cells. This will lead to paralysis, seizures, and finally death.
Devonte and Alondra have a 3 year old daughter, Cindy who is healthy.

determine the following:
1. The genotype and phenotype of Devonte and Alondra.
2. The genotype and phenotype of their daughter, Cindy.
3. The genotype and phenotype of Wilondja.
4. If Devonte and Alondra decide to have another baby, what is the probability that
the child will have Tay Sachs?
5. Is Tay Sachs caused by an environmental factor or is it hereditary? Give evidence
for your answer.
