Answer to Question 1

A
Response:
Myelinization of the brain and spinal cord continues to progress and is complete around 24 months of age. Alveoli reach adult numbers usually around the age of 7 . Urine output in a toddler typically averages 1 mL/kg/hour. Abdominal musculature in a toddler is weak, resulting in a pot-bellied appearance.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
Sex determination occurs at fertilization. Meiosis refers to cell division resulting in the formation of an ovum or sperm with half the number of chromosomes. The morula develops after a series of four cleavages following the formation of the zygote. Oogenesis refers to the development of a mature ovum, which has half the number of chromosomes.
