1. what did stanley gartler discover about eighteen of the most commonly used cell cultures?

That it contained glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-A.

Explanation:

In her non-fiction book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot, the author writes about the life of Henrietta Lacks. Lacks suffered from cervical cancer and this she founded HeLa cell also known as an immortal cell.

Skloot became very much interested in finiding about this cell so she began studying it. In her study, Skloot found that the cells contained G6PD-A also known as glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase-A. It was surprising for her because these cells are not found in Black Americans.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
