Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Damage from exposure to cold results from hypoxia, ice crystal formation, and vasoconstriction. Blood viscosity increases, not decreases, and vasoconstriction occurs rather than vasodilation.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

The fact that the inactive X chromosome can be visible as a Barr body in a female allows for the extrapolation of the number of X chromosomes and thus the sex associated with the cells. Normal male cells lack Barr bodies, but they are present in females. The number of X chromosomes ultimately determines the sex of an individual.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
