Various observations suggest that V(D)J recombination, which is an essential process for the maintenance of the vertebrate immun

e system, was evolutionarily derived from DNA transpositional recombination. Which of the following comparisons between V(D)J and DNA transpositional recombination is NOT true?
A. V(D)J recombination is similar to the replicative transpositional mechanism.
B. Excision of genes in V(D)J involves the formation of a DNA-hairpin intermediate similar to that seen in the Hermes transposon pathway.
C. The V(D)J recombinase protein RAG1 is likely homologous with DDE transposases.
D.Recombination signal sequences are functionally similar to terminal inverted repeats.
E. V(D)J recombination is similar to the replicative transpositional mechanism.

Answer:

The correct answer is option A. "V(D)J recombination is similar to the replicative transpositional mechanism".

Explanation:

V(D)J recombination and the replicative transpositional mechanism are very different biological processes. V(D)J recombination is an unique mechanism that takes place by somatic recombination and results in the highly diverse repertoire of antibodies. On the other hand, the replicative transpositional mechanism takes place when a transposable element is duplicated during replication.

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

On piercing his foot, the pain receptors called nociceptors, found in the skin, are activated. Nociceptors exist at the nerve endings of the primary afferent neurons. Signals travel along the first order neurons which have cell bodies within the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord. In the dorsal root ganglia, the signals are taken up at the synapse with the second order neurons which have cell bodies in the nuclei of the cranial nerves within the brainstem. These neurons ascend cranially in the spinothalamic tract to the thalamus. The third order neurons lie within the ventral posterolateral nucleus of the thalamus. They terminate at the somatosensory cortex where the signals are being processed and returned as a sensation of pain.
