Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: When mothers consume sufficient iron during pregnancy the infant is born with iron stores to last for several months. Insufficient stores of iron may result in delays in motor and cognitive development. Iron insufficiency also results in anemia. Fluoride, not iron, is needed for mineralization of bones and teeth.
