Using induced pluripotent stem cell technology, cardiac ventricular myocytes were generated using cells taken from Patient X and also from a donor who displayed normal cardiac function. Figure 1.1 displays the action potentials from myocytes expressing either the wild type or the mutant form of channel D. Q 1c. Wild-type channel D 100ms 20mV Mutant channel D 100ms 20mV Figure 1.1. Action potentials recorded from cardiac myocytes expressing either wild type or the mutant form of Channel D. Describe and explain how the mutation in Channel D could lead to the difference in the action potential traces shown in Figure 1.1. [20 marks]

i found this past paper however i cannot find the solutions, please can you answer question 1c

Using induced pluripotent stem cell technology, cardiac ventricular myocytes were
generated using cells taken from Patient X and also from a donor who displayed normal
cardiac function. Figure 1.1 displays the action potentials from myocytes expressing either
the wild type or the mutant form of channel D.
Q 1c.
Wild-type channel D
