Answer to Question 1

B
An open neural tube allows a high level of AFP to seep into the amniotic fluid and enter the maternal serum.

Answer to Question 2

A
Conduction occurs when the infant comes in contact with cold objects.
Convection occurs when heat is transferred to the air surrounding the infant.
Radiation is the transfer of heat to a cooler object that is not in direct contact with the infant.
Evaporation can occur during birth or bathing as result of wet linens or clothes, or insensible heat loss.
