* A. Exercise
In each case, provide the word that describes the form of
exercise described.
A1. Exercise in which force is applied to an unmoving object,
such as a wall, so that opposing muscles are contracted
with no movement of joints.
A2. This adjective describes short, fast, high-intensity
exercises, such as sprints, that force the body to rely on
energy sources stored in the muscles rather than on oxygen.
* B. Genetics
B1. Sickle-cell anemia is an inherited recessive trait that
occurs when someone has two copies of the mutated gene
for one of the components of hemoglobin. Interestingly
people with only one mutated gene do not have sickle-cell
disease, but do have a degree of protection from what major
tropical disease that kills over half a million people a
year worldwide?
B2. Drosophila melanogaster is often used in genetic studies due
to its short life cycle and easy mutation of genes.
What name is this living thing more commonly known as?
* C. Beauty Products
C1. This super-hydrating fluid is produced by the human body,
but it's also found in skin-care and eye drops. It encourages
skin-cell turnover, moisturizes really well, helps wounds
heal faster, and repairs scarring.
C2. A form of vitamin A, dermatologists have been prescribing
this for years to help treat acne, scarring, and dark spots.
It's also available over-the-counter in less concentrated
forms as an anti-aging product. Name it.

A2. Cafall was the lead dog to accompany his human on the
hunt for the famous wild boar Twrch Trwyth ["turk tru-ith"].

you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
