Some strains of cancer cells are used quite often in laboratories because they are considered immortal. What unique features of

cancer cells make them immortal? A. They are have a limitless growth potential, in part due to their ability to maintain telomere length, and in culture will continue to divide indefinitely B. Cancer cells do not require access to nutrients or oxygen, so they can grow indefinitely C. They are resistant to mutation and therefore never die D. They are anchorage independent and never need a surface to grow on E. The DNA in cancer cell is not assembled in chromosomes and has no telomeres, which are used as a measure of the "life time" of a cell, so it will never age and divide indefinitely

Answer:

A. They are have a limitless growth potential, in part due to their ability to maintain telomere length, and in culture will continue to divide indefinitely.

Explanation:

Unlike normal cells, telomeres shorten in every cell division until eventually they become too short to protect the chromosomes and the cell dies. Cancer cells reverse the telomeres shortening, and instead, they  lengthen  them, thus they become inmortal.

Hybridomas, which produce monoclonal antibodies, are made by fusing cells of the immune system with.
yuradex [85]

Monoclonal antibodies are made by the fusion of cells of the immune system with B lymphocytes and myeloma cells.

<h3>What is Hybridoma technology?</h3>
  • It is one of the best technologies that is used to produce the monoclonal antibody.
  • In this hybridoma technology the B lymphocytes that are antibody producing are isolated from a source after the immunization with a specific antigen and then are fused with myeloma cell line to form hybrid cells that are also called as hybridoma cell lines.
  • The hybridoma cell lines are then cultured in the laboratory with specific antigen and then the monoclonal antibodies are produced.
  • This can be done in in-vivo or in-vitro condition.
  • This method is preferred over all because the production of antibodies by this method is good as the antibodies produced are of high purity and highly sensitive and specific.
  • These cell lines can also be preserved for a long time.
  • Hybridoma technology has resulted in production of different varieties of monoclonal antibodies with specificity with specific antigens as the monoclonal antibodies are produced by single parental B cells.

The relative humidity would be ________% if the actual water vapor in the air was 10 grams per cubic meter, the air's capacity t
lys-0071 [83]

Answer: The Relative humidity is 50%

Explanation: Relative humidity is the ratio of the air’s water vapour content (the actual amount of water vapour in the air) to its water vapour capacity at a given temperature. It depends on temperature and the pressure of the system of interest and it is usually expressed in PERCENTAGE; the higher the percentage, the more humid the air/water mixture.

The formula of Relative humidity (%) = (water vapor content / water vapor capacity) x 100%

Where: Water vapour content is the actual amount of water vapour in the air. Which is 10g/cm³ from the question above;

Water vapour capacity is the air's capacity to hold water vapour. Which is 20g/cm³ from the question above.

Therefore, RH(%)= (10g/cm³ / 20g/cm³) x 100 = 0.5 x 100= 50%

This means that the air contains half of the water vapour it could hold at 20 degree Celsius.
