As the section on cognitive abilities notes, about 7 of males and 3 of females may have spatial ability scores in the top 5 of the population. One implication that we can draw from this information is that
 
  a. gender differences in this area are very large.
  b. this gender difference cannot fully explain why women in engineering are relatively rare.
  c. the variability in scores within each gender is very large.
  d. the samples of students taking these tests are probably biased.

Question 2

Suppose that some researchers conduct a study about cognitive abilities, and they find a relatively large gender difference. From this information, you would expect to find that
 
  a. the overlap in the frequency distributions for males and females will be relatively small.
  b. the gender difference is likely to be biologically based (e.g., caused by hormonal differences).
  c. the same results are likely to be obtained if the study is conducted in a different social setting.
  d. the same results are likely to be obtained if the study is conducted with participants who are either older or younger.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
