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.
