Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

If the concordance rate in monozygotic twins were similar to that of dizygotic twins, the evidence would suggest a strong environmental influence on the disease or behavior. If the concordance rate for monozygotic twins were much higher than the rate for dizygotic twins, the evidence would suggest a strong role for the influence of heredity.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. 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. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
