Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Thrombopoietin binds to its ligand Mpl on the membrane of platelet precursors and plays a critical role in the production of platelets.

PF4 appears to be unique to platelets and is found in a-granules. None of the other proteins listed are unique to platelet precursors.
