Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Testosterone stimulates red cell production.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Apoptosis is programmed cell death, a normal physiologic process to remove damaged, abnormal, or unneeded cells. Necrosis is abnormal death because of trauma or damage. Hemolysis is cell death by rupture (which is abnormal). Phagocytosis is the primary mechanism for removal of senescent cells, but it also can remove damaged cells.
