Superantigens cause the stimulation of T cells to overproduce cytokines.

  • Some pathogens in an unusual way take over the immune system and mislead it by interfering in the adaptive immune system.
  • Instead of processing by APC (Antigen Presenting Cells), superantigen is directly bonded to MHC-II (Major histocompatibility complex) and TCR (T cell receptor) for a longer period than normal.
  • As a result, about 20% of T cells are stimulated to produce cytokines such as interleukin-2 (IL-2), interferon-γ (INF-γ), and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) known as Cytokine storm. Thereby, affected individuals experience some adverse symptoms like toxic shock syndrome and rheumatic fever.

How do the process of DNA replication and the laws of inheritance help cells and individuals pass on their
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer/Explanation:

DNA replication doubles each chromosome, meaning the cell can pass on DNA to daughter cells - the duplicated DNA is divided equally between the two new cells formed from the parent.

The laws of inheritance are:

1) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene, called alleles, will always display the form that is dominant, masking the recessive trait.

2) The Law of Segregation: In a diploid genome, like most eukaryotes, each trait is defined by a pair of genes (alleles). Each allele is randomly passed on to the gametes so that each gamete only contains one allele.   The offspring inherits one allele from each parent during the process of fertilization.

2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted independently from one another That is, the inheritance of one trait does not depend on the inheritance of another trait. so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
vovangra [49]
1. The correct answer is; are body cells is going to shrink. <span>Salty seawater is a hyperosmotic solution, meaning that it has more solutes than the cell inside. The water will move (from the cell) via osmosis in order for the solutions to reach equilibrium. Also, salty solution exerts more pressure on the of the cell, so the cell will shrink.</span>
<span>
2. The correct answer cells in the fish will stay the same size. This will occur because both solutions, freshwater lake and river have similar (or equal) solute concentrations. Those solutions are called isosmotic. There is no movement of water or the solutes, so the cell stays the same.</span>

3. The correct answer is to swell. <span>This will happen because sea star egg has the same solute concentration as its first environment-ocean meaning that this solution is hyperosmotic comparing to the lake (ocean is saltier than the lake, it has more solutes). When you put the sea star egg in the lake, the water from the lake will move (via osmosis) into the egg, to reach equilibrium. Water will cause the cell to swell.</span>
