Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
As a result, 90 of the blood flow entering the pulmonary artery takes the path of least re-sistance by shunting through the ductus arteriosus and flows to the aorta. Only 10 flows into the lungs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Figure 9-6 illustrates how the increased O2 affinity is manifested by a leftward shift of the fetal oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve. The P50 (PO2 that saturates 50 of the hemoglobin) is 6 to 8 mm Hg less than adult hemoglobin (HbA), which indicates the degree of the shift toward higher affinity.

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.
