Answer 2

The HeLa cell line originated from the cervical cancer cells of a woman named Henrietta Lacks in 1951. The cells were taken without her knowledge or consent during a biopsy procedure at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. The name "HeLa" is derived from the first two letters of Henrietta Lacks' first and last name. The cells were the first human cells to be grown in culture and have since been widely used in scientific research.
