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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
