Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

While not an uncommon event in early postnatal life, jaundice requires further assessment and possibly intervention. Meconium often contains blood, and young infants are exclusive nose breathers. A child's suck is frequently weak before it becomes established in the days to follow.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Consistent with their characterization as the power plants of the cell, mitochondria are the site of ATP synthesis for the cell. The number of mitochondria in a given cell type varies, according to the energy demands of the particular cell. They are self-replicating rather than being produced in the smooth ER, and they are inherited matrilineally.
