Answer to Question 1

Ans: B

At conception, every human receives an equal number of chromosomes from each parent. Physical characteristics, such as height, bone size, and eye and hair color, are inherited from our family of origin.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B

According to Erikson, the developmental task for adolescents is identity versus role confusion. Trying on new roles and even rebelling are normal behaviors as the adolescent acquires a sense of self and decides what direction to take in life. The other choices are not appropriate for adolescents.
