Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

During development, the mature and enlarged cartilage cells at the metaphyseal end of the plate become metabolically inactive and are replaced by bone cells. This process allows bone growth to proceed without changing the shape of the bone or causing disruption of the articular cartilage. Abnormalities linked to the embryonic stage of development are uncommon, and the physiological effects of in utero positioning resolve by 3 to 4 years. Both length and diameter of bones increase during development.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The incidence of vitiligo is thought to have a genetic component. Vitiligo worsens with time, and treatments are not curative. The etiology is not infectious and does not involve fungus.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
