Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Both the error theory and the cross-linking theory assert some change in DNA that interferes with normal cell functioning. Such changes may be caused by free radicals or any of many other mutagens. Although the aging of cells may be environmentally influenced, it is not thought to be externally controlled. That genetic programming determines life expectancy is a basic tenet of the programmed theory of aging.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Nitroglycerine has been effective in treating and preventing angina attacks. Strenuous activity can precipitate an angina attack. Anticoagulation is not a treatment for angina. Patients with angina do not have foot and calf edema. Angina is not associated with obesity. ACE inhibitors are not used to treat orthostatic changes and dizziness.
