Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Chronic myelogenous leukemia is effectively treated with Imatinib mesylate. This drug inhibits most of the transforming capability stemming from the tyrosine kinase (P210) activity of the bcr/abl fusion gene. This P210 fusion protein is not found in the other myeloproliferative disorders, so the drug is ineffective in these disorders.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Chronic myelogenous leukemia often progresses to acute leukemia, which may be either myeloid or lymphoblastic.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
