Answer to Question 1

B, C, D
Feedback:
Interferons act to prevent virus particles from replicating inside the cells. They also stimulate interferon receptor sites on noninvaded cells to produce antiviral proteins, which prevent viruses from entering the cell. In addition, interferons have been found to inhibit tumor growth and replication, to stimulate cytotoxic T-cell activity, and to enhance the inflammatory response. Options A and E are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Androgens are used pharmacologically to treat hypogonadism or to increase protein growth and red blood cell production. Androgens are not used in a male to treat ovarian atrophy. Androgens are not used to treat dwarfism or acromegaly.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
