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.

What is the approximate astronomical distance between the sun and proxima centauri the closest star to the sun ?
LiRa [457]
It is about 4.22 light-years<span> from Earth and is the closest star other than the sun. Alpha Centauri A and B orbit a common center of gravity every 80 years. The average distance between them is </span>about 11 astronomical units<span> (AU) — about the same distance as the sun is to Uranus.</span>

What is the value of numC at the end of this loop? numC = 12 while numC &gt; 3: numC = numC / 2 numC =
klio [65]

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given :

numC = 12

while numC > 3:

numC = numC / 2

Initial value of numC = 12

The condition checks if the value of numC is greater than 12, only then will the statement be executed and the loop isn't altered

numC = 12 is greater Than 3 ;

numC = numC/2 = 12/2 = 6

numC is now 6 ;

numC = 6 is greater than 3

numC = numC / 2 = 6/2

numC is now 3

numC = 3 is not greater than 3 ; hence, loop terminates (condition isn't met)

Hence , numC = 3

What occurs with the help of transport proteins.
Alchen [17]

Answer: Transport proteins act as doors to the cell, helping certain molecules pass back and forth across the plasma membrane, which surrounds every living cell. In passive transport molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
