Currently, most organs that are harvested for transplant are transported from the donor to the recipient packed in ice and must be implanted within a matter of hours. how is organ culture an improvement on this transport method?
organs that are packed in ice can be damaged by frostbite during transit. 2 cultured organs can be kept alive for several weeks before transplant. 3 extra culture medium is easier and cheaper to transport than extra ice. 4 organ cultures can be shipped as cargo rather than hand delivered.

The tasmanian devil, a marsupial carnivore, is facing extinction due to devil facial tumor disease (dftd) which causes bulging cancerous lumps and lesions to erupt around the face and neck — often causing enough deformation to make seeing or eating difficult. dftd has evolved into a contagious cancer, a trait that is unique among cancers. devil mating behavior involves biting around the head and neck, allowing cells from one individual — especially cells from the crumbly dftd tumors — to be transferred to the wounds or face of a new individual. this marsupial was once found across australia, but sea levels rose, isolating the tasmanian population, while the australian population went extinct. what would be an outcome of genetic isolation that is likely to have impacted the spread of dftd? a) reduced territory puts diseased individuals in greater contact with non-diseased ones. b) inbreeding results in less variation in facial features so the cancer is generally fatal. c) genetic isolation has made it difficult for scientists to develop a vaccine against dftd. d) the lack of genetic variation in the immune system of tasmanian devils minimizes resistance to the disease.
