BMT 1 Unit 3 Part 1

Pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) are reprogrammed adult cells produced in a lab to take on characteristics of which type of stem cell?

• somatic stem cells

• tissue-specific stem cells

• embryonic stem cells

• mesenchymal stem cells

The first reports of successful mammal cloning date to the:

• 18th century.

• 19th century.

• 20th century.

• 21st century.

Regenerative medicine relies heavily on the use of:

• organs harvested from animals.

• human organ donations.

• clones.

• stem cells.

Adult stem cells are to be harvested and transplanted into a patient. Where would these cells most likely be found?

• in an embryo

• in muscle tissue

• in human bone marrow

• in a clone

Scientists implant genetic information from one species into another to create a customized strain of mice for research. What are these scientists creating?

• transgenic microorganisms

• transgenic animals

• genetic mutations

• pharmaceutical modifications

When a scientist charts the position of known genes and other markers relative to each other, this process is called:

• genome tracing.

• genetic engineering.

• genetic mapping.

• regeneration.

In regenerative medicine, once the biomaterial matrix is developed, the scaffolds must be able to:

• leave.

• be made smaller.

• dissolve.

• remain unchanged.

Incomplete dominance can be described by:

• plants possibly having several different colors.

• plants all being the same color.

• no trait related to plant color.

• plants that lack color pigment making it difficult to grow.

Adult stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are also known as:

• somatic stem cells.

• embryonic stem cells.

• pluripotent stem cells.

• hematopoietic stem cells.

Somatic stem cells are undifferentiated cells that are also called:

• embryonic stem cells.

• adult stem cells.

• totipotent stem cells.

• zygote stem cells.
