Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Women tend to develop conditions such as heart disease or stroke about 20 years later than men. Because women have two X chromosomes, they have a back-up set of these genes, allowing their genomes to choose the best of the pair. Men are more likely to die from unintentional injuries than women. Finally, women are less likely to internalize stress, loneliness, and anger than men, which can powerfully affect health over time. Finally, women smoke at a lower rate than men.
