Answer to Question 1

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. The usual cause of small traces of blood on the female newborn's diaper is from the withdrawal of maternal hormones, not from a urinary tract infection.
B Correct. The usual cause of small traces of blood on the female newborn's diaper is from the withdrawal of maternal hormones, called pseudomenstruation, and caregivers may need reassurance that this is normal and will soon disappear.
C Incorrect. The usual cause of small traces of blood on the female newborn's diaper is from the withdrawal of maternal hormones, not from the trauma of birth..
D Incorrect. The usual cause of small traces of blood on the female newborn's diaper is from the withdrawal of maternal hormones, not from placental blood we missed when bathing the baby at birth.

Answer to Question 2

A
Meiosis is the cell division seen only in sex cells. The chromosomes divide in half before the cell divides. Translocation is a problem that can occur during meiosis. Mutations are errors in duplication, rearrangements, or the loss of parts of the DNA code. Metabolism is any physical or chemical change that takes place in the body, and is not limited to reproduction of cells.

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.
