Did your problem-solving process lead you to the correct answer? If not, where did the process break down or lead you astray? How can you revise your approach to produce a more desirable result?

What will be an ideal response?


This question asked you to evaluate an experiment on the signaling pathway activated by a
receptor tyrosine kinase. If you got the correct answer, great job! If you got an incorrect answer, where
did the process break down? Did you think that proteins downstream of protein X would affect the
interaction between the receptor and protein X? Did you think that the interaction between the ligand and
receptor would interfere with binding between the receptor and protein X?
