Answer to Question 1

Student answers will vary. Seeds may have been improperly prepared and therefore
unable to germinate; or were able to germinate but were not provided with the
proper conditions to facilitate their germination.



Answer to Question 2

Without pesticides, harmful insects would cause great damage to food crops.
Biological control of insects provides a partial solution to this problem. Biological
alternatives to pesticides include strategies such as introducing sterile females into
the insect population or attracting males to traps with the scent of females

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.
