The mechanism of somatic recombination known as V(D)J recombination only takes place in developing lymphocytes at the beginning of T and B cell maturation. As a result, B cells and T cells, respectively, have a very varied repertoire of antibodies/immunoglobulins and T cell receptors (TCRs).

<h3>What are immunoglobulin genes ?</h3>

Only B cells can make immunoglobulins, which are encoded by the immunoglobulin genes. The two identical heavy chains that make up immunoglobulin molecules are coupled with the two identical light chains, kappa and lambda. There are numerous chromosomal locations where the immunoglobulin genes are found.

  • B-cell immunoglobulin gene rearrangement tests are used to help diagnose non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphomas and evaluate for residual or recurrent disease after treatment. There are many different types of B-cell lymphoma and each has different characteristics, prognoses, and a likely response to therapy

Whales have pelvic (hip) bones, which are evolutionary remains from when their forefathers walked on land about 40 million years ago. Common belief has long assumed that such bones are merely vestigial, slowly withering away like human tailbones. Thus option C is correct.

<h3>What is the new research from USC and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) has to say ?</h3>

New research from USC and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM) contradicts this belief, discovering that not only do those pelvic bones have a role, but their size and perhaps shape are impacted by sexual selection processes.

Therefore, small, shrunken hip bones of whale are no longer beneficial for survival and are considered vestigial. So, the best option is C among the other options available. Thus option C is correct.

Suppose the two possible alleles for the height gene are tall and short. If short is recessive to tall, provide the symbol repre
navik [9.2K]

Phenotype - short , Tall

Genotype - tt (short) , TT or Tt (tall)

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Mendelian Genetics, <em>Dominant traits</em> are represented by capital letters and <em>Recessive traits</em> are represented by small letters.

So if height is the character considered, then the traits would be short and tall.

Tall is the dominant phenotype and short is the recessive phenotype.

The alleles of the gene for height are T and t.

The genotype for Tall trait is TT or Tt.

The genotype for short trait is tt.

Therefore, the symbol representation of phenotype (Tall) is TT or Tt and for phenotype (short) is tt.

Axons from mPFC neurons synapse onto intercalated cells in the amygdala that contain the neurotransmitter __________.
sammy [17]

The medial pre Frontal Cortex neurons synapting with the intercalated cells of Amygdala contains <u>GABA</u> as the neurotransmitter.

Option a

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Amygdala has two types of nerve cells getting attached with it primarily. They are the fibres from the mPFC or medial pre Frontal Cortex and the vIPAG or ventrolateral periaqueductal grey. These neurons do have different functions on the whole body.

The fibres from the mPFC do have emotional function on the human body whereas the fibres of vIPAG do have an effect on the muscle tone . And it's seen that both the nerve fibres that are getting attached with the intercalated cells of Amygdala do secrete GABA and are inhibitory GAB Anergic in nature.
