Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
A normal decrease in cell size is physiologic atrophy. Atrophy can result from disease (patholog-ic), disuse, or nerve injury (neurogenic).

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Mutations in genes that encode histone-modifying proteins have been implicated in congenital heart disease. Research has yet to provide a relationship between abnormal histone-modifying proteins and cleft palate, acephalous, and webbed digits.
