Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The Pimas are genetically prone to obesity, regardless of where they live. Pimas who live in Mexico have a more active lifestyle and eat a diet rich in complex carbohydrates and lower in animal fats compared to Pimas in Arizona, and thus Pimas who live in Mexico are less likely to become obese. Pimas who live in Arizona typically adopt a more sedentary lifestyle and consume a high-fat diet, and thus they are more likely to become obese. The main point is that proper diet and exercise can overcome a genetic predisposition to being overweight and can enable individuals to maintain a healthy body weight.
