Transformation of mature cells may also occur due to aberrant expression of stemness genes, resulting in cell clones with a dedifferentiated phenotype and self-renewing capacity resembling stem cells. Recent experimental evidence supporting this proposal has been provided with the induction of adult somatic cells into pluripotent stem (iPS) cells through ectopic expression of four genes encoding the pluripotency factors Oct4 and Sox2, the transcription factor Klf4, and the oncoprotein c-Myc in mouse or human fibroblasts. However, along with pluripotency comes the capability of generating teratomas. On the basis of the above information which of the following outcome is most appropriate?

  1. This tumorigenicity could be partly explained by the enforced expression of Oct4.

  2. This tumorigenicity could be partly explained by the enforced expression of Sox2.

  3. This tumorigenicity could be partly explained by the enforced expression of Klf4.

  4. This tumorigenicity could be partly explained by the enforced expression of c-Myc.

Researchers in the Netherlands studied the effects of parental care giving in European kestrels over 5 years. The researchers transferred chicks among nests to produce reduced broods (three or four chicks), normal broods (five or six), and enlarged broods (seven or eight). They then measured the percentage of male and female parent birds that survived the following winter. (Both males and females provide care for chicks.) Which of the following is a conclusion that can be drawn from this graph?

In cucumbers, dull fruit (D) is dominant over glossy fruit (d), orange fruit (R) is dominant over cream fruit (r), and bitter cotyledons (B) are dominant over non-bitter cotyledons (b). The three characters are encoded by genes located on different pairs of chromosomes. A plant homozygous for dull, orange fruit and bitter cotyledons is crossed with a plant that has glossy, cream fruit and nonbitter cotyledons. The F1 are intercrossed to produce the F2. What will be expected proportions progeny with Dull, Orange and non-bitter?
