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.

<span>When practicing birth control as natural family planning, it is not true that it is almost 100 percent effective. Birth control as natural family planning does require careful tracking of the menstrual cycle, demands focus on bodily changes, and does require women from having sex on days ovulating and following. Even if sex is is had outside ovulating days, it is possible to get pregnant, thus it is not 100 percent effective.</span>

Explain How sunlight is the primary source of energy for you life
Daniel [21]
It radiates light and heat, or solar energy, which makes it possible for life to exist on Earth. Plants need sunlight to grow. Animals, including humans, need plants for food and the oxygen they produce. Without heat from the sun, Earth would freeze.
