Answer to Question 1

C
Rolfing, or structural integration, uses various body manipulations to work on fascia. Chronic stress and inactivity cause the normally loose, mobile fascia to become thick and fused. Muscles react by painful spasms. Rolfing stretches the fascia to re-establish proper alignment and thus improve function. Treatment usually involves a series of ten 2-hour sessions 1 to 2 weeks apart.

Answer to Question 2

D
Children of a parent affected by an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern have a 50 percent change of inheriting the mutant allele and being affected.The phenotype of autosomal dominant inheritance pattern appears in consecutive generations. One mutant allele in an individual is an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern, not a carrier state.
