Expert Solution
Step 1

HeLa cells were discovered in 1950s and is named after the women from whom these cells are taken i.e. Henrietta Lacks. These cells have the ability to grow indefinitely in the lab. These cells have played a very important role in developing vaccines for COVID 19 and polio. These cells also helped in the treatment of AIDs, HIV and cancers. Till now 55 million tons of HeLa cells have been used in order to carry out 75000 scientific studies.
