Answer: Kathrin Plath and William Lowry

Explanation:

Kathrin Plath and William Lowry and researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles(UCLA) were able to reprogram adult cells to become develop properties of embryonic stem cells which are very important as they can become any type of cell in the body which can have very important implications in medicine.

They did this by genetically altering the cells to enable them age backwards to a point where they were like the aforementioned stem cells.

How can you tell that the cell below is a eukaryotic cell?

Although prokaryotes also hve organelles, they are not enclosed. This is why they say that eukaryotes have a TRUE NUCLEUS because it is well defined by the membrane that encloses it.

Why is the quadrat method useful for estimating snail populations? Do you think it would work for fish populations?
SpyIntel [72]

Quadrat method is used for estimating the number of individuals in an area. In this method, a large square area on the ground or water surface is marked, call it an enclave. The number of animals present in this enclave is counted. Then by assuming that the animals are less migratory and are uniformly distributed, their number for a large area is estimated by the use of unitary method of calculation. Example a 4 square feet area has 2 snails, then a 1000 square feet area will have (1000 x 2)/4, i.e, 500 snails in it. Fishes can be counted using this method only if they are confined in a small water body like a lake or a pond. Rivers are flowing so the fishes may move along its length which can give us an underestimate or an overestimate of their numbers. Sea has its depth and huge area, and fishes can be moving randomly in it. Hence this method will not work for river and sea fishes.

Why is it necessary for cells to maintain homeostasis? Choose the correct answer.
nevsk [136]
<span>Cell membrane plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis by controlling the substances that penetrate the cell, either entering the cell, or leaving the cell. Since the cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer, it can control the transition of water and ions.</span>
