Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
It is important that cell structures be stabilized before staining. If not, then the cells will be lysed when the buffer is added and thus will not adhere to the slide. Methanol in the stain fixes the cells to provide this stabilization of cell structure.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A decreased white count is leucopenia. An elevated white count is leukocytosis. Thrombocytosis and thrombocytopenia refer to an elevated and decreased platelet count respectively.

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).
