Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
An ethnically based variability in the color of the iris and in retinal pigmentation exists, with darker irides having darker retinas behind them.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The lens loses elasticity and decreases its ability to change shape to accommodate for near vision. This condition is called presbyopia.
