Answer to Question 1

The whale is a seasonal breeder. It migrates to the equator for mating. The female carries her young for 10 to
12 months and will nurse it for 7 months after birth. It travels in herds.



Answer to Question 2

ShrimpThe life cycle of the shrimp involves the female laying the eggs in the ocean, the young moving close
to shore to live, and at 5 to 7 months old, moving back to deep water for breeding.
 OysterThe oyster sprays her eggs in the water. The young oyster or spat hatches within 10 hours where it
will attach to a rock. It stays its entire life on the same rock.
 LobsterThe lobster carries her eggs under her tail. Every 2 years, she lays her eggs by shaking them from
her tail. The young lobster drifts for 3 to 5 weeks before it sinks to the ocean floor to spend the rest of its life.

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.
