Answer:

The answer is false uniqueness effect.

Explanation:

In this type of cognitive bias, people tend to view their qualities as unique. The effect is more visible when asked about imaginary situations. An example would be telling someone: "16 out of 20 people woudln't help a person having a seizure. What would you do?". They will possibly answer that they are different, and would immediately help.

It's interesting to notice that the false uniqueness effect is the opposite to the false consensus effect, in which people believe the majority of others share his/her ideas and opinions.

A research team began a study of a cultured cell line. Their preliminary observations showed them that the cell line did not exh
Kruka [31]

Answer: The research team can conclude right away that the cell line is a "cancer cell or a cell that emanates from a tumor cell".

Explanation: 'Density-dependent inhibition is when cell growth has a reached a limited density which in turn will slow down the rate of cell growth because of lack of new 'anchorage' point (new cells to adhere and be in contact with).

'Anchorage Dependence' is the need for cells to be in contact (adherence) with another layer of cells. Cells require anchorage in order to survive.

The reason why the researchers will conclude right away that the cell line is a "cancer/tumour cell" is because normal cells display density dependence inhibition while cancer cells 'proliferate' (increase in number) regardless/independent of cell density.

Normal cells adhere to each other (need to be in contact with each other) and form orderly array of cells while cancer cells do not adhere to cells and can migrate over adjacent cells thereby growing in a disorderly manner.
