In one experiment, you coat a petri dish with fibronectin and proteoglycan and culture cells on a petri dish. Cells adhere to the dish. In another set of experiments (Experiments 1-4), you repeat the previous procedure but this time add one synthetic peptide to each of the culture dishes as the cells are added. What are the outcomes of experiments 1 to 4? Experiment 1: TGKGDAPC Experiment 2: TGRGDPSC Experiment 3: RVDSPAC Experiment 4: RGDSPAC

Inclusion-cell (I-cell) disease is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the gene that codes for a phosphotransferase enzyme responsible for adding a phosphate group to mannose residues on specific proteins. Which of the following consequences would directly result from defects in this phosphotransferase enzyme? (Select all that apply.)
