The answer is IgA. The immunoglobulin can occur as a monomer or dimer. The dimeric form is called secretory-IgA because it is also secreted by glands that produce saliva, tears, sweat, and in the lumen of the gastrointestinal tract. It is the most secreted Immunoglobulin.

The answer is immunoglobulin A (IgA).
Immunoglobulin A is an antibody that plays a crucial role in the immune function of mucous membranes. It has two sub classes that is the IgA1 and IgA2 and can be produced as a monomeric as well as a dimeric form. The dimeric form is the most prevalent and is also called secretory IgA. Secretory component is a proteolytic cleavage product of the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor which remains associated with the dimeric IgA in sero-mucus secretions. The secretory component protects IgA antibodies from degradation by the gastric acids and enzymes of the digestive system.

Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart and typically have ________________ blood pressure. Veins carry deoxygenated

KatRina [158]

The correct answer is high, low.

Arteries are part of the circulatory system and are responsible for carrying blood away from the heart and around the body. The arterial blood is oxygenated and this process ensures that every tissue around the body will receive oxygen and nutrients through this blood flow.

Veins are also part of the circulatory system and are responsible for carrying the deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart.

Venous pressure is much lower than the arterial pressure. More specifically, venous pressure ranges from 5 to 8 mmHg, while arterial pressure ranges from 15 to 30 mmHg.

Compare and contrast the processes that form different fossil types

marishachu [46]

<h3><u>Processes that form different fossil types:</u></h3>

The remained parts and elements of an organism that live several years ago is called as fossils.

Due to natural processes like weathering, soil erosion and other geological activities fossils are hard to preserve.

Carbonization, permineralization, recrystallization and replacement are the fossil formation processes.

Carbonization is the chemical reaction forming the thin film of carbon of the organic material.

Permineralization includes the fossils of bones and teeth. The recrystallization process is responsible for changing the micro-structure of the organic materials to form the fossils.

Explain how restriction enzyme digestion results would change if

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

The foreign gene might be lost

Explanation:

Restriction enzymes have two properties useful in recombinant DNA technology.They cut DNA into fragments of a size suitable for cloning at palindromic sites. Many restriction enzymes make staggered cuts that create single-stranded sticky ends conducive to the formation of recombinant DNA. The foreign might be cleaved and removed from the plasmid. plasmid is an extrachromosomal strand in bacteria.
