Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
When researchers sought to investigate how exposure to famine in utero had impacted individu-als born in a historically prosperous country whose nutritional intake was dramatically impacted by WWII, they found that individuals who suffered nutritional deprivation in utero were more likely to suffer from obesity and diabetes as adults than individuals who had not experienced nutritional deprivation during gestation. Other data sets reveal elevated risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disease for offspring of individuals exposed during early development to fluctua-tions in agricultural yields. The research does support the development of asthma or Crohn's dis-ease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Atrophy is a decrease or shrinkage in cellular size. Hyperplasia is an increase in the number of cells. Vacuoles are membrane-bound vesicles within the cell that contain cellular debris and hy-drolytic enzymes. Lipofuscin is the yellow-brown age pigment.

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.
