Question: The injected LacZ - expressing cells from question # 1 0 are monitored over time before and after treating the mice using your combination treatment

The injected LacZ-expressing cells from question #10 are monitored over time before and after treating the mice using your combination treatment from question #8. Which of the following observations is consistent with the behavior of a stem cell population? (2pt)
Group of answer choices
A) LacZ-positive cells expand within the tumor. Treatment kills off the tumor cells but not the LacZ-expressing cells. The tumor does not grow back.
B) LacZ-positive cells expand within the tumor. Treatment kills off the tumor cells but not the LacZ-expressing cells. The tumor regrows with LacZ-positive cells.
C) All of the LacZ-positive cells differentiate into pancreatic cells and begin secreting insulin. Treatment kills off the tumor cells but not the LacZ-expressing cells. The tumor does not grow back.
D) All of the LacZ-positive cells differentiate into pancreatic cells and begin secreting insulin. Treatment kills off the tumor cells and the LacZ-expressing cells.
