Which of the following contradicts the "one-gene, one-enzyme hypothesis"?

Biology

Pepsi [2]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A single antibody gene can code for different related proteins, depending on the splicing that takes place post-transcriptionally.

Explanation:

According to the "one-gene, one-enzyme hypothesis", a gene code for single specific enzyme only. Beadle and Tatum proposed the one-gene, one-enzyme hypothesis that states that a gene encodes the genetic information for the synthesis of one enzyme only. However, alternative splicing in eukaryotes allows the formation of more than one related proteins/enzymes from a single gene.

For instance, alternative splicing of single primary transcript transcribed from an antibody gene allows the formation of multiple proteins. The primary transcript encoded by this gene has a segment of the gene that serves as either intron or exon. Depending on particular combinations of exons retained after splicing, multiple related proteins are formed by respective mRNA.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

CD4 on the surface of helper T-cells.

Explanation:

MHC class II ( major histocompatibility complex) molecules are processed from the exogenous source. The presentation of  antigen on cells are important for the adaptive immune response.

MHC class II interact with CD 4 present on the surface of T helper cells. This interaction is important for the generation of an immune response. Helper T cells can release cytokines and can perform phagocytosis.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

5. How do enzymes found in your saliva aid in digestion?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

the answer is C) They increase the rate of the chemical reactions involved in digestion

Explanation:

The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.
