Your friend is a pioneer in es cell research. in her research, she uses an es cell line that originated from an inbred strain of laboratory mice called fg426. she has just figured out methods that allow her to grow an entire liver from an es cell and has successfully grown 10 livers. she demonstrates that the newly grown livers are functional by successfully transplanting one of the new livers into a fg426 laboratory mouse. you are particularly excited about this, because you have a sick pet mouse, squeaky. you are very attached to squeaky, as you found him when you were out camping in new hampshire. unfortunately, squeaky has developed liver disease and will not live much longer without a liver transplant. after you see your friend on tv talking about her new method for growing mouse livers, you immediately grab your cell phone to ask her whether squeaky could have one of the newly grown livers. just as you are about to dial your friend, you remember something you learned in cell biology and realize that instead, you should ask your friend about possibly using therapeutic cloning for squeaky’s benefit.

a. why do you think that one of the newly grown livers may not work in squeaky?

b. explain how using ips cells could solve this problem.

Read the following scenario to answer the following question. in some zoos, rare crosses between a male lion and a female tiger have produced hybrid offspring called "ligers." male ligers are sterile but some female ligers are fertile. in the wild, lion and tiger ranges do not naturally overlap, making such a cross unlikely. furthermore, the solitary behavior of tigers and the social organizations of lions create behavioral differences. applying the biological species concept, the sterility of ligers reveals that a. lions are probably a subspecies of tigers b. tigers and lions are the same species c. a new species called "ligers" is forming d. tigers and lions are separate species
