After reading the paragraphs below, answer the questions that follow.

Oligodendrocytes are cells in the brain that produce myelin in the central nervous system. Myelin regulatory factor (MyRF) is a transcription factor that is required by oligodendrocytes in order to produce myelin. Researchers investigated the importance of MyRF by having mice learn how to run on complex wheels (there were many gaps in the wheel thus making it difficult to run on—see graph below).





Researchers created a genetic strain of mice that were lacking both genes for MyRF. What is the most likely effect that this would have on the mice?
◦ increased flow of ions through voltage-gated sodium channels
◦ decreased flow of ions through voltage-gated potassium channels
◦ increased number of dendrites on neuron cell bodies
◦ decreased rate of signal propagation via axons

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.
