Answer:
(B). inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase.
Explanation:
Lovastatin is a drug, which is used to reduce risk for cardiovascular diseases and to reduce level of cholesterol in blood.
It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase) enzyme, required for the formation of mevalonate from HMG-CoA.
Mevalonate is building block for the biosynthesis of cholesterol. Hence, lovastatin inhibits cholesterol production by inhibiting synthesis of mevalonate.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

C.Provide a descriptive statistic that could be used to estimate the number of women out of 1000 in this population who have tissue abnormalities.
-out of 1,000 women developed tissue abnormalities
63/3980=.0158
15.8%
D. remember that women whose mothers took the drug were twice as likely to develop tissue abnormalities.)
___ out of 1,000 women developed tissue abnormalities
15.8/2
7.9
e. Medical sudies often use a relatively large sample (in this case 3980). Why?
