(a) outline a procedure and discuss possible applications | |
(b) evaluate an experiment in terms of its applicability to medical research | |
(c) propose a method for curing specific genetic disorders | |
(d) explain a problem and suggest a solution for it |
194. The author states that research into the genetic control of morphogenesis has been impeded by
(a) an incomplete understanding of biomolecular reactions that are highly complex | |
(b) a lack of communication between scientists whose work could be complementary | |
(c) a reluctance on the part of morphologists to share data with molecular biologists | |
(d) a lack of research in the area of morphology |
195. The major objective of the author’s proposal is to
(a) provide a plan for increasing knowledge about the influence of genes on morphogenesis | |
(b) devise a technique for proving that abnormalities in morphology result from gene mutations | |
(c) improve the procedures for organizing chemical and morphological data | |
(d) increase the accuracy of measurements of cell populations and cell mobility |
196. It can be inferred from the passage that some cells that have been isolated from an organism have the ability to
(a) control morphogenesis | |
(b) reform to make higher organisms | |
(c) reorganize to form clusters of cells | |
(d) regulate the transmission of light through the cell wall |
197. It can be inferred from the passage that the study of the effects of genes on morphogenesis is best accomplished by observing
(a) intact developing embryos | |
(b) adult sea urchins | |
(c) isolated living cells | |
(d) groups of genetically mutated cells |
198. According to the passage, it is difficult to study cells in most intact embryos because
