Q: [...] is the technique used to grow cells/tissues outside the organism under controlled conditions
A: cell culture

Q: cells need to be [...] from tissue to be cultured
A: isolated

Q: cells are incubated in [...] at 37C^o
A: CO_2

Q: [...] are responsible for cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions
A: CAMs (cell adhesion molecules)

Q: serums contain [...] to act as nutriends for cells in culture
A: insulin and growth factors

Q: [...] cell culture are cells taken directly from an organism. Undergoes [...] inhibition and affected by the [...] limit
A: primary; contact; Hayflick

Q: [...] are cells that are transformed and able to grow indefinitely.
A: cell line

Q: first human cell line are called [...] cells and were derived from cervical cancer cells of Henrietta Lacks
A: HeLa

Q: [...] fibroblasts are elongated, orderly packed and undergo [...]
A: normal; contact inhibition

Q: [...] fibroblasts are rounded, disorganized and grow indefinitely
A: transformed

Q: symmetric cell division has the daughter cells [...] to one another and the parent cell
A: identical

Q: [...] cell division can create different daughter cells and is important in stem cell renewal
A: asymmetric

Q: [...] cells have reached their final state and cannot morph into anything else
A: differentiated

Q: stem cell renewal occurs when one stem cell differentiates into a [...] plus an [...]
A: functional cell; identical stem cell

Q: a [...] cell is a cell that can differentiate but not indefinitely
A: progenitor

Q: embryonic stem (ES) cells are [...] and can [...] in culture under appropriate conditions
A: pluripotent; grown indefinitely

Q: [...] are made of pluripotent stem cells that give rise to all three germ layers
A: inner cell mass

Q: fibroblasts can be reprogrammed to become induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS) using [...]
A: Yamanaka factors

Q: [...] is a Yamanaka factor that is expressed in cancer, hence carrying risks
A: c-Myc

Q: iPS cells have many applications in medicine and are very effective due to the high [...] of the cells
A: affinity
