Cell Biology Lab - Homework 1 Due to the week of Oct. 6-10th This is NOT a lab group project. Do the work individually. You may use any source other than your fellow students. Show your work‚ use your own words and cite all references. 1. (20 points) The HeLa S3 cancer cell line is considered to be “continuous” due to acquired mutations that enable the cells to evade senescence. This property is one of several hallmark characteristics of cancer cell lines. Describe three hallmark characteristics

Essay Questions Exam 3 Chapter 40 a. Describe a key function of each of the four types of tissues found in animals. 1. Epithelial tissue (squamous‚ columnar‚ cuboidal) makes up the lining and coverings. This type of tissue is found in the skin (epidermis and dermis)‚ surrounding the organs of the body‚ and outer layer of capillaries (diffusion). 2. Connective tissue (loose‚ adipose‚ blood‚ fibrous‚ bone) holds organs in place and attaches epithelial tissue to other underlying tissues. A collagenous
