More than 2 full TCP packets without ACK and large MTU

Hi, Please refer to the attached pcapng file. It's 1 GB file.

It captures mainly transfer of a 1GB FTP (port 21) transfer. I got two questions:

Q1) Packet # 806 through 812 were transferred without any acknowledgement. Each of those packets was more than TCP full size (1460). How is that possible?

Q2) Frame size of each of the above packets is more than the MTU size (1500). How is it possible?

Regards.
