Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Most childhood cancers originate from the mesodermal germ layer that gives rise to connective tissue, bone, cartilage, muscle, blood, blood vessels, the gonads, the kidney, and the lymphatic system. Most childhood cancers do not originate from the placenta or the environment. Neural tubes are generally not associated with cancer.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Physical activity increases gut motility, thereby decreasing exposure to mutagens. Physical activ-ity does increase fluid loss and blood supply, but neither effect prevents mutagens. Physical ac-tivity does not increase hydrochloric acid.

It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
