Some people store their newborn baby’s umbilical cord blood in a cryobank because umbilical cord blood contains high levels of stem cells. The specific types of stem cells found in umbilical cord blood are hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and may develop into certain types of blood cells. Which statement is a compelling scientific argument in support of banking umbilical cord blood?

Arctic foxes typically have a white coat in the winter. In summer, when there is no snow on the ground, the foxes typically have a darker coat. Which of the following is most likely responsible for the seasonal change in coat color?

A population of laboratory rats in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium displays a polymorphism for coat color controlled by two alleles at a single locus. The B allele codes for black coat color and is completely dominant. There are 200 rats in the population: 32 are white and 168 are black. How many of the black rats are heterozygous (Bb) at the coat-color locus?
