Answer to Question 1

A, C, D
A decrease in maternal mortality, decreased deaths from infectious diseases, and more chronic illness in men account for the disparity in genders as people age.

Answer to Question 2

B
The error theory poses that errors in DNA transcription lead to aging. The radical theory views the effects of free radicals as critical to aging. The cross linkage theory states that normally separated molecular structures are bound together through chemical reactions and that this interferes with metabolic processes. The wear-and-tear theory postulates that normal activity causes wear and tear on the body, leading to aging.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
