3. Equal numbers of fibroblasts and endothelial cells are present initially in a culture. a. If the endothelial cells double every 40 hours and the fibroblasts double every 20 hours, draw a graph showing the percentage of cells in the culture that are fibroblasts as a function of time (you can use excel). b. Come up with an equation to determine the time at which 90% of the cells will be fibroblasts and solve for time. Explain how you came up with your equation.

Figure 17.15 In 2011, the United States Preventative Services Task Force recommended against using the PSA test to screen healthy men for prostate cancer. Their recommendation is based on evidence that screening does not reduce the risk of death from prostate cancer. Prostate cancer often develops very slowly and does not cause problems, while the cancer treatment can have severe side effects. The PCA3 test is considered to be more accurate, but screening may still result in men who would not have been harmed by the cancer itself suffering side effects from treatment. What do you think? Should all healthy men be screened for prostate cancer using the PCA3 or PSA test? Should people in general be screened to find out if they have a genetic risk for cancer or other diseases?
Meroblastic cleavage is typical of embryos formed from __________ eggs, (a) moderately telolecithal (b) highly telolecithal (c) isolecithal (d) b and c (e) a, b, and c
In the embryonic development of the eye: a. the optic vesicle cells permanently adhere to each other to prevent movement, whereas the optic cup cells are very motile. b. the optic cup induces the surface ectoderm to form the lens placode. c. gradients determine that the ectoderm overlying the lens vesicle develops into the optic vesicle. d. microtubules powered by myosins and microfilaments powered by dyneins move the eye components around in the head region. e. cadherins function in the presence of calcium to allow the lens placode and optic cup to break apart.
The slow block to polyspermy: a. is caused by a change in membrane potential from negative topositive. b. triggers the movement of Ca2+ from the cytosol to the endoplasmic reticulum. c. triggers a decrease in egg oxidation and protein synthesis. d. describes the fusion of egg and sperm nuclei. e. includes the fusion of cortical granules with the eggs plasmamembrane.
Over the last few months, your best friend, Mark, has noticed a small, black-brown, raised growth developing on his arm. When you suggest that he have it examined by his doctor, he says hes going to wait and see if it gets any larger. You know thats not a very smart answer. Give three arguments that you can use to try to convince Mark to seek medical advice as soon as possible.

Discuss Concepts Near the time of childbirth, collagen fibers in the connective tissue of the cervix break down, and gap junctions between the smooth muscle cells of the uterus increase in number. What do you think is the significance of these tissue changes?
VISUALIZE Label the following diagram and explain what this diagram illustrates.

Some desperate cancer patients consume pills or other preparations containing shark cartilage, which the manufacturers tout as an anti-angiogenesis compound. The basis for these claims is the fact that blood vessels do not grow into cartilage. Responsible researchers point out that, regardless of the properties of cartilage, there is no way that eating it could provide any anticancer benefit. Why is this counterargument correct?
Which of the following gives rise to the skin cells? a. ectoderm b. endoderm c. mesoderm d. none of the above
