Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 6TY
The relay protein Ras is part of the EGF pathway that promotes cell division (see Figure 9.10). The active form of Ras has GTP bound to it, whereas the inactive form has GDP. GTP is hydrolyzed to GDP and Pi to switch Ras from the active to the inactive form. Researchers have discovered that certain forms of cancer involve mutations in the gene that encodes the Ras protein. Which of the following types of mutations would you expect to promote cell division and thereby lead to cancer?
- a. a mutation that prevents the synthesis of Ras
- b. a mutation that causes Ras to bind GDP more tightly
- c. a mutation that prevents the GTP bound to Ras from being hydrolyzed
- d. a mutation that prevents Ras from binding to Raf
- e. both b and c

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth.
Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
