Twins produced when a single egg is fertilized are called ______________twins. Twins produced from two eggs ovulated at the same time are called ______________ twins.
monozygotic; dizygotic
dizygotic; monozygotic
monozygotic; identical
dizygotic; nonidentical
The Correct Answer is A
A. Monozygotic; dizygotic: Monozygotic twins are identical twins that result from the division of a single fertilized egg. Dizygotic twins, or fraternal twins, result from the fertilization of two separate eggs.
B. Dizygotic; monozygotic: This is the reverse of the correct order. Dizygotic twins come from two eggs, and monozygotic twins come from one egg.
C. Monozygotic; identical: Monozygotic twins are identical, but this choice does not mention dizygotic twins, which makes it incomplete.
D. Dizygotic; nonidentical: While dizygotic twins are nonidentical, this choice does not properly define the types of twins produced by a single egg (monozygotic).

Correct Answer is B
Explanation
A. Surfactant reduces surface tension in the alveoli, aiding in lung expansion, but it does not directly stimulate breathing.
B. CO2 accumulating in the infant's blood: The accumulation of CO2 in the infant's blood is a significant stimulus for the first breath after birth. High levels of CO2 trigger the infant's respiratory centers to start breathing.
C. Prostaglandins are involved in labor and delivery but do not directly stimulate breathing in the newborn.
D. An increased O2 level in the infant's new environment: Increased O2 levels do not directly stimulate breathing; rather, the accumulation of CO2 is the primary stimulus.
Correct Answer is D
Explanation
A. Amino acids; proteins: Amino acids are the end products of protein digestion, not the substrates that are broken down.
B. Polysaccharides; amino acids: Polysaccharides are broken down into simple sugars (monosaccharides), not amino acids.
C. Proteins; nucleotides: Proteins are broken down into amino acids, not nucleotides. Nucleotides are components of nucleic acids, not proteins.
D. Nucleic acids; nucleotides: Nucleic acids (such as DNA and RNA) are broken down into nucleotides.
