Since the rest energy of an electron and its antiparticle a positron is 0.511 MeV, a gamma ray must have an energy larger than 1.022 MeV to produce an electron-positron pair.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Question 2

Because of the equivalence of energy and mass, a gamma ray, which is a high energy photon, can disappear, and in its place there will be produced an electron and a positron, which both have mass.
  Indicate whether the statement is true or false

Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
