Opsonization, the process in which some pathogens are coated with antibodies and complement proteins, is representative of which

Ans.

Opsonization is defined as an immune reaction that includes ingestion and elimination of a pathogens by phagocytes, with the help of antibodies and complement proteins.

The antibodies involve in opsonization are mainly IgG (gamma immunoglobulins). The IgG binds with pathogen via its Fab (antigen-binding fragment) domain and opsonizes it. The antibody-pathogen complex then binds with an immune cell via Fc (fragment of crystallization) domain of IgG antibody that triggers secretion of lytic proteins from immune cell to kill the pathogen.

Thus, 'opsonization is a representative of IgG antibody function.'

Each transfer RNA requires at least four specific recognition sites that must be inherent in its tertiary structure in order for
Jet001 [13]

Answer: The options are not included.

But the sites are;

Interaction with ribosomes.

Interaction with aminoacyl tRNA

synthase.

Attachment of the specific Amino acid.

Interaction with codon.

Explanation:

Transfer RNA is a type of RNA that help to translate messenger RNA sequence into protein. Each tRNA have two major areas; the anticodon and region for attaching specific Amino acids.

tRNAs function at specific sites in the ribosomes during mRNA deciding.

The four specific recognition sites of trna that must be inherent in it's tertiary structures in order for it to carry out it's role are;.

Interaction with ribosomes.

Interaction with aminoacyl tRNA synthase.

Attachment of specific Amino acid.

Interaction with codon.

Which of the following is not a type of adaptation?
enyata [817]

Answer: The correct answer for the first question is- B) Mechanical.

Adaptation can be described as a process of change in an organism over time that facilitates its survival in the changing environmental conditions. It results due to mutation or genetic change in the individual that gives a benefit to the organism. It exhibits change in structure ( like succulent plants in desert), function, or behavior.

Mechanical is not a type of adaptation as it deals with movement of objects.

The correct answer for second question is- C) Variations.

Variation among organisms in a population results from change in the genetic material or their genetic sequences. Change at the genetic level is thus reflected in the phenotypes ( like different color of feathers in birds).

Thus, difference is in the feather color reflects variations.

which structure in the female reproductive system is comparable to the external reproductive organs in males
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
They are the same in that most of the reproductive organs of both sexes develop from similar embryonic tissue, meaning they are homologous. Both systems have gonads (male have testes and female have ovaries) that produce gametes (testes produce sperm and ovaries produce egg or ovum) and sex organs.
