How could stem cells prove helpful in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases?

• Stem cells form white blood cells, which boosts the body's immunity.

• Stem cells perform apoptosis to remove old cells from the heart muscles.

• Stem cells divide to form red blood cells, which reduce hypertension.

• Stem cells can differentiate to form heart muscle cells.

Josh is assigned a project in class to make a strand of mRNA from DNA. The DNA code that he has been assigned is CGG TCG AGT GAT. What would be the correct code for Josh to use in his transcription?

• GCC UGC TCA CTU

• GCC AGC TCA CTA

• GCC AGG TGA CTA

• GCC AGC UCA CUA

In sexual reproduction, offspring are genetically different from their parents. This is because

• only one parent is involved in reproduction.

• combined genes are received from both parents.

• reproduction occurs very rapidly.

• there are fewer variations in daughter organisms.

Which statement about asexual reproduction is true?

• The offspring receives half the genetic information of its parent plant.

• The offspring receives equal genetic information from its parent plant.

• The offspring receives one fourth of the genetic information of its parent plant.

• The offspring develops genes similar to its parent plant.
