Bacteria containing nucleic acids
Answer: p53
Explanation:
In most cases, the p53 gene is mutated, giving rise to a stable mutant protein whose accumulation is regarded as a hallmark of cancer cells.
Answer:
<u><em>Nucleotides base known as A is Adenine.</em></u>
Explanation:
A nucleotide comprises of the following three things:
- A nitrogenous base: <em>There are 5 types of nitrogenous bases. Adenine which is written as A, Guanine which is written as G, Cytosine which is written as C, Thymine which is written as T. The thymine is replaced by a Uracil in RNA. Uracil is written as U</em>.
- A five carbon sugar which is known as deoxyribose in the case of DNA and ribose in the case of mRNA.
- Phosphate groups
Answer:
The correct answer is c) opsonins
Explanation:
Opsonization is a process in which proteins like antibodies and complement proteins called opsonins bind to the antigens and get it recognized by the phagocyted which destroys the antigen.
Especially when bacteria is having external capsule than it becomes difficult for phagocytes to attach to the capsular surface as the recognition molecule like membrane carbohydrate of antigen is concealed by capsule.
So to encounter this, antibodies like IgG and complement proteins like C3b attaches to the antigen and get it recognized and opsonized by the phagocytes like macrophages. This opsonization causes the destruction of antigen by enzymatic lysis.
