Question
Chapter 14.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way in which the presence of growth factor eventually affects the function of a cell.
Introduction: The nutrition obtained by the body ultimately results in the growth of cells. The growth of the cell can also be accompanied by the process of cell division. There are various signals involved in the manipulation of the process of cell division.

Ralph decided to explore other optionsand went to a cancer clinic. He learned that researchers in asynthetic biology program were testing the use of geneticallymodified bacterial cells designed to selectively invade specifictumors and kill cancer cells, with no effects on normal cells.Ralph decided to participate and was informed that he wouldbe part of a phase III trial, comparing the effects of the modifiedbacterial cell treatment against conventional chemotherapy.However, as part of the trial, he would be randomly assigned toreceive one or the other treatment.
