Answer to Question 1

The Moon is closest to the side facing it, so the pull is strongest there. The oceans on that side bulge towards the Moon. The Moon is a little further from the basically solid Earth, so it pulls more on that than on the oceans on the far side. The oceans on the far side are left behind, creating a second bulge there.

Answer to Question 2

D

Interferon was scarce and expensive until 1980, when the interferon gene was inserted into bacteria using recombinant DNA technology, allowing for mass cultivation and purification from bacterial cultures.

Did you know?

Hip fractures are the most serious consequences of osteoporosis. The incidence of hip fractures increases with each decade among patients in their 60s to patients in their 90s for both women and men of all populations. Men and women older than 80 years of age show the highest incidence of hip fractures.
