Answer to Question 1

B
Prolactin, secreted by the anterior pituitary, is a hormone that causes the breasts to produce milk.
Estrogen decreases the effectiveness of prolactin and prevents mature breast milk from being produced.
Progesterone decreases the effectiveness of prolactin and prevents mature breast milk from being produced.
Human placental lactogen decreases the effectiveness of prolactin and prevents mature breast milk from being produced.

Answer to Question 2

C
This postterm infant actually lost weight in utero, which is seen as loss of subcutaneous fat.
