Question 10 • Biology - SC3209 IC

Suppose that scientists discover how to grow neurons in the brain tissue of a lizard. What are scientists most likely to do with this discovery?

Answer
A
Scientists will work on discovering how neurons grow in other animals.
B
Scientists will discard these findings because lizards and humans belong to different biological classes.
C
Scientists will discard their previous work on neurons and focus on this new line of study.
D
Scientists will apply this discovery in their work to grow neurons in human brain injury cases.

Explanation

A discovery about growing neurons in lizard brain tissue could provide knowledge that scientists can investigate for treating human brain injuries. They would apply the finding cautiously, since lizards and humans are different animals, but they would not automatically discard it or assume it works in humans without further research. Therefore, the best answer is D, applying the discovery in work on growing neurons for human brain injury cases.
