A student is studying the effect of testosterone in a specific signal transduction pathway. The student is using a special
cell line that only contains testosterone receptors. Unfortunately, the student made an error when culturing the cells
and all of the cells died! Thankfully a fellow classmate offered for the student to use their cell line. It is not the same
cell line and does not contain the receptors that the student was studying. The student, however, points out that this is
fine because there are other receptors that testosterone can bind to. Do you agree with this statement? Why or why
not? (4 pts)

In relation to the situation described in the question, I would not agree with the student's assessment that the new cell line would be fine for the experiment given that the main goal of the experiment was to make conclusions about testosterone-specific pathways.

The student in question wishes to create an experiment to test the effect of testosterone in a specific signal transduction pathway. The initial experiment designed by the student was correct as it takes the cell line as a control variable to measure the pathway effects.

However, Once the student changed the cell line, he affected the accuracy of the experiment since hormones such as testosterone behave differently in the absence of specific pathways and will be more affected by competetive hormones amongst those new pathways.
