Upload an image of your answers to this question at the end of the exam. This is from the Wikipedia article on the glycoprotein Muc1. (Mucin-1. (2019, December 8). In Wikipedia.) “Mucin 1, cell surface associated (MUC1) or polymorphic epithelial mucin (PEM) is a mucin encoded by the MUC1 gene in humans. MUC1 is a glycoprotein with extensive O-linked glycosylation of its extracellular domain. Mucins line the apical surface of epithelial cells in the lungs, stomach, intestines, eyes, and several other organs. Mucins protect the body from infection by pathogen binding to oligosaccharides in the extracellular domain, preventing the pathogen from reaching the cell surface. Overexpression of MUC1 is often associated with colon, breast, ovarian, lung, and pancreatic cancers.” O-linked glycoproteins have a polysaccharide structure attached to an R-group of a Thr or Ser on the protein portion of the glycoprotein through an O-

Show the order of elements in the array after each pass of the bubble-sort algorithm (following the technique given in lecture) applied to the array:                int myArray[8] = {23, 5, 17, 4, 10, 3, 9, 1}    Note: The array is to be sorted with the smallest element in position myArray[0].  Make sure that you show the appropriate number of passes.   Give your answer in the form: Pass 1:  x, y, z, …. Pass 2:  a, b, c … etc
