Concept Check Which of the following is an actual difference between mitosis and meiosis? a.A single cell is divided into two cells in mitosis and four cells in meiosis. b.Mitosis produces haploid cells, and meiosis produces diploid cells. c.Mitosis involves two cellular divisions, and meiosis has only one cellular division. d.The chromosomes replicate before mitosis and meiosis, but in meiosis they replicate again between the first and second divisions.

© 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Biology and Society These are two mammograms—the one on the left is normal and the one on the right indicates a tumor. Genetic tests are now available to screen for women with a high genetic risk for developing breast cancer. Some women in this situation have opted for a radical mastectomy before the appearance of a tumor. As a doctor, would you consider advising your patient in this manner? Strongly Agree Strongly Disagree A. E. C. B. D.

Biology and Society One of the first human cell lines to survive indefinitely was derived from a cancer patient who died in Known as the HeLa line for Henrietta Lacks, the cell line continues today in laboratories throughout the world and is even available for high school classrooms to study karyotyping. In 1951 people didn’t fully realize the potential applications of unique cells or DNA. Do you think that a patient should retain all rights to his or her cells or DNA during medical procedures? Strongly Agree Strongly Disagree A. E. C. B. D.
