Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

With each flip of the coin, the chance of it landing on tails is multiplied by half. Hence the chance of landing a consecutive series of tails decreases the more times you flip the coin, but never reaches 0.

A is incorrect as it is possible to land heads on any flip.

B is incorrect as there is always a possibility of landing tails on every flip.

C is incorrect as the chance of getting tails on every flip is small (and gets smaller) and hence cannot be considered to be likely.

Hence D is the answer.

FinnZ [79.3K]

Induced pluripotent stem cells can be a valuable tool in science and medicine because: A. induced pluripotent stem cells can become any cell type in the body, but are from adults, avoiding the controversies associated with embryonic stem cells.

A cell can be defined as the fundamental functional, structural and smallest unit of life, which is typically found in all living organisms.

In Science, all living organisms are broadly grouped into two (2) main categories according to cell type and these include the following;

Unicellular organisms

Multicellular organisms

Basically, the reason why induced pluripotent stem cells can be a valuable tool in science and medicine is simply because they can become any cell type within the body of a living organism, but are usually derived from adults that are avoiding the controversies associated with embryonic stem cells.

Complete Question:

Induced pluripotent stem cells are cells from adults that have been reprogrammed to imitate embryonic stem cells. Why might induced pluripotent stem cells be a valuable tool in science and medicine?

A. Induced pluripotent stem cells can become any cell type in the body, but are from adults, avoiding the controversies associated with embryonic stem cells

B. Induced pluripotent stem cells are the only type of stem cell that's truly pluripotent.

C. Induced pluripotent stem cells may become any cell type in the body, but are fraught with ethical questions over their use.

D. Induced pluripotent stem cells are derived from adult cells and therefore may have DNA abnormalities, allowing scientists to understand the effects of sun exposure or toxins on DNA
