Why should scarring of a fallopian tube raise the risks of an ectopic pregnancy?
A. Scarring may slow the progression of the ovum (egg) from the fallopian tubes into the uterus. If it is fertilized by a sperm cell while it is stopped in the fallopian tube, it may implant there, resulting in an ectopic pregnancy.
B. Scarring can completely block the ovum (egg) from being able to exit the fallopian tube to enter the uterus. It may implant in the wall of the fallopian tube (since it can't enter the uterus) and result in an ectopic pregnancy.
C. Scarring may allow the sperm cells to enter the fallopian tubes and bind to the scar tissue. The inflammatory response generated when this occurs is termed an ectopic pregnancy.
D. Scarring of the fallopian tubes results from undiagnosed bacterial infections. These bacteria can also make the lining of the uterus inhospitable to implantation of a fertilized egg. If the fertilized egg can't implant into the wall of the uterus, it may travel back into the fallopian tube and implant there instead, resulting in an ectopic pregnancy.

In mitosis, the main difference between plant and animal cells is that
A. plants do not undergo cytokinesis. B. plants produce a cell plate to segregate the daughter nuclei, while animals form a cleavage furrow. C. plants have a central vacuole, while animal cells do not. D. plants produce a cell membrane in cytokinesis, while animals form a cell plate. E. in plants, kinetochore microtubules shorten and draw chromosomes toward the poles; in animals, polar microtubules lengthen to push chromatids apart.

Two kinds of custom antibodies are available-monoclonal or polyclonal. Polyclonal antibodies are created in response to a mixture of epitopes on complex injected antigenic material; monoclonal antibodies are produced by a hybridoma strain, which is created from fusion of an immortal tumor cell line with a single B lymphocyte, and thus respond to a single specific epitope.You are designing a fast assay system for detecting flu virus in patients. You hope to send these tests to clinics in far-flung regions of the globe so they can conduct surveillance on influenza epidemics. The kits will need to remain functional for several years. What type of antibody will you choose?
A. Polyclonal B. Monoclonal
