Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The relatively low PO2 and various prostaglandins in fetal blood cause the ductus arteriosus, a muscular vessel attached to the trunk of the pulmonary artery and the aorta, to dilate and the pulmonary arteries to constrict.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Approximately 50 of this blood is shunted from the right atrium into the left atrium through an opening in the interatrial septum called the foramen ovale.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
