(NOTE: You do NOT need to know anything specific about GFP beyond what I say here.) (Note: Using similar forms of a word, such as “translated” instead of “translation,” does count for credit here!) To track the migration of muscle cells, a lab makes a transgenic mouse line. These mice contain a transgene for green fluorescent protein, GFP, which comes from jellyfish. GFP glows under UV light. However, when this transgene is expressed, only their muscle cells glow. Explain that result using the following terms correctly: (6 pts) transcription transcription factor translation DNA protein RNA For up to 1 point extra credit: Would the mouse’s cells need to remove introns, exons, or neither during this process? Explain briefly. HINT: This is primarily a Central Dogma question! Most of the answer is about the Central Dogma in general, not GFP in particular.

A 32 year old was involved in an MVC. Patient is pale, cool, and diaphoretic and they sustained a deep laceration to right thigh. BP is 86/54 mmHg, HR is 132 bpm, respiratory rate is 28/min with SpO2 at 95% on room air. Which type of shock best describes the patient’s condition?
