Spontaneous generation is the idea that new living organisms can form from nonliving matter. Cell theory, however, states that cells can only grow from other cells.
Which of the following experimental results supports the idea that new cells can only form from other cells?
A. A plant cell had its cell wall broken, and the cell was found to no longer be able to function.
OB. A piece of uncovered meat that was left outside contained maggots by the end of one day.
OC. A container of soup that was heated and sealed did not grow mold even after several months.
OD. A mold sample examined under a microscope showed a regular structure made of many individual cells.

Two male mice, which we will call male a and male b, are both phenotypically normal. male a was from a litter that contained half phenotypically normal mice and half dwarf mice. the mother of male a was known to be homozygous for the normal igf2 allele. male b was from a litter of eight mice that were all phenotypically normal. the parents of male b were a phenotypically normal male and a dwarf female. male a and male b were put into a cage with two female mice that we will call female a and female b. female a is a dwarf and female b is phenotypically normal. the parents of these two females were unknown, although it was known that they were from the same litter. the mice were allowed to mate with each other, and the following data were obtained: female a gave birth to three dwarf babies and four normal babies. female b gave birth to four normal babies and two dwarf babies. which male(s)mated with female a and female b? male a with both females male a with female b, and male b with female a male a with female a, and male b with female b could not be determined male b with both females

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.

One function of the immune system is to attack the foreign cells to protect the body. in organ translate , the body recongnizes that the new organ is made of foreign cells. wha kind of medicine would you give a patient to increase the chances of transplate success
