Six distinct antibody subtypes can be produced in response to the antigen.

It is assumed that a certain antigen has six distinct antigenic determination sites.

A molecule, chemical structure, foreign particle, pollen grain, or any other substance that can attach to a particular antibody or T-cell receptor is referred to as an antigen.

An epitope is an antigenic determinant, which is the component of an antigen that the immune system recognizes.

An antibody is a large, Y-shaped protein that the immune system employs to recognize and destroy foreign substances like dangerous germs and viruses.

Answer:

TAAGCCATGACATGATCG

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, typically to a messenger RNA (mRNA). During transcription, a particular DNA sequence called 'gene' is used as template to create an mRNA which is subsequently used to synthesize a protein by the process of translation. During this process (transcription), Uracil (U) bases pair with Adenine (A) and replace thymine (T) bases in RNA.

If humans evolved from monkeys, why are<br> there still monkeys?
Alina [70]

Firstly, humans did not evolve from monkeys. Instead, monkeys and humans share a common ancestor from which both evolved around 25 million years ago. This evolutionary relationship is supported both by the fossil record and DNA analysis. A 2007 study showed that humans and rhesus monkeys share about 93% of their DNA.
