Answer: B. Encouraging athletes to have children together

Explanation: The history of reproductive genetics is complex. During the early part of the last century, eugenics programs were popular. Eugenics is a science that deals with “improving” hereditary qualities. Positive eugenics encourages reproduction by those considered genetically superior. In Nazi Germany, “Pure Aryans” were encouraged to breed to create a superior race. Negative eugenics limits or discourages reproduction by those considered genetically inferior. In the United States, negative eugenics led to laws requiring the involuntary sterilization of thousands of people due to mental or physical handicaps. Events such as these have led people to question the value of eugenics. PF

Furkat [3]

Answer:

histamin, wider, swelling

Explanation:

Inflammation is defined as the response of body's immune system to a stimulus (invasion of pathogen or any injury). Some of the inflammatory responses are swelling of wound, redness of wound and itching at injured area et-cetra.

Upon any injury, the injured cells releases a chemical including histamin which causes vasodilation and increased permeability of blood vessels. This chemical recruit white blood cells to the damaged area and initiate the healing process. This chemical allows the local blood capillaries more wider due to vasodilation effect. Under the influence of histamin, the endothelium lining become leaky and allows movement of fluid to interstitial tissue spaces. When the extra fluid moves from capillaries to damaged tissue, it causes swelling or called edema.

The white blood cells initiate phagocytosis of pathogens at injured area and destroy the pathogens. Due to increased pressure from edema and toxins released by pathogens, the pain sensation prolongs, even while the body is repairing the tissue.

Hence, the correct answers are histamin, wider, swelling.
