Answer to Question 1

2
Change in bowel habits is one of the seven danger signals for cancer. Changes in bowel habits and blood in the stool are common signs of colorectal cancer. Vomiting, decreased appetite, or recent blood infection could be symptoms of other health problems, but they are not necessarily colorectal cancer.

Answer to Question 2

4
An immunogen is any molecule that elicits an immune response. An antigen is any molecule that can bind with a specific antibody. An antigen that does not elicit an immune response by itself is called a hapten. An epitope is the reaction portion of an antigen.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
