The human egg has about 2000 mitochondrial genomes, but somatic cells have a range of hundreds to thousands. Which of the following is most likely to account for the difference?

◦ Large mitochondria in oocytes can divide into many smaller mitochondria, and smaller mitochondria can replicate their DNA.
◦ Somatic cells replicate their nuclear DNA at a faster rate than the oocyte.
◦ Mutant mitochondria replicate at different frequencies than do wild type.
◦ Haploid organelle genomes can replicate to form diploid or polyploidy genomes.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
