Use what you know about the bcl-2 family of genes (which includes the ced-9 gene in c. elegans) to predict the outcomes of the situations described below. select three of the below. a. in c. elegans, overexpression of ced-9 during embryonic development leads to the survival of cells that would normally undergo apoptosis. b. in human cells, underexpression of bcl-2 is associated with uncontrolled cell growth that leads to a type of cancer called follicular lymphoma. c. in humans with follicular lymphoma, a potential therapeutic would be to increase the expression of bcl-2 in the cancerous cells. d. in humans, cells that express high levels of bcl-2 are more susceptible to apoptosis. e. in humans, cells that express high levels of bcl-2 are less likely to undergo apoptosis. f. in human cell lines, scientists can manipulate the cells to force the expression of bcl-2 to prevent apoptosis.

Turtle hatchling survivorship rate is low in many turtle species due to predation. amanda researched the predatory rate on a species of turtle eggs in the red river. the eggs were harvested from trapped turtles and the egg's cloaca film (reproductive discharge) was either washed off or left on once gathered. research suggests that predators use the female's cloaca scent to locate the eggs. the eggs were only handled when wearing gloves and then reburied along islands where the turtles were trapped. the nests were monitored by cameras and manually on foot and data on nest predation were recorded. a. based on the experimental design, what is the dependent variable? b. based on the experimental design, what is the independent variable? c. based on the experimental design, what is the control?
