When an antigen attacks the body, it activates adaptive immunity. This adaptive immunity produces a strong response when it enco

unters the same antigen for the second time. Which feature of adaptive immunity is essential for this kind of response?
the ability to remember the antigen it encounters
the ability to distinguish between self and nonself antigens
the ability to produce nonspecific antibodies against the foreign antigen
the ability to secrete lysozymes against pathogenic antigens

Answer:

Option). the ability to remember the antigen it encounters

Explanation:

The adaptive or acquired immunity is a type of immunity, which develops by the exposure of pathogens during lifetime. Four features of adaptive immunity includes specificity, diversity, memory, and ability to differentiate between self and non-self.

Cells of adaptive immunity (B cells and T cells) are specific for pathogens. Once the antigens or their components are recognized by pathogens, these cells produce effector cells and memory cells.

These are the memory cells that remember the antigens and provide a rapid and more efficient response during subsequent encounters of those antigens.

Thus, the correct answer is first option.

DNA binding proteins in prokaryotes regulate gene expression by controlling transcription
kondaur [170]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Gene expression, which involves the transcription of DNA into mRNA and the subsequent translation of mRNA into proteins, is regulated in the cell of prokaryotes i.e. it is kept under control. This regulatory process, however, is done at the TRANSCRIPTIONAL LEVEL, in prokaryotic organisms like bacteria.

DNA binding proteins called transcription factors bind to the promoter region of a gene and either facilitates/enhance the binding of RNA polymerase or inhibits its binding. The enhancers are called ACTIVATORS while the inhibitors are called REPRESSORS.

DNA and RNA (nucleic acids) are polymers of nucleotides that are broken down, first, by pancreatic enzymes and then completed by
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Nucleosidase

Explanation:

DNA and RNA function as genetic material in organism and proteins are synthesized on the bases of information stored in theses nucleic acids. However as these nucleic acids molecules are present in every cell so they also need to be digested and used as energy source.

  • First, the pancreatic enzymes nucleases released from pancreatic acinar cells causes the breakdown of Deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acids into nucleotides.
  • These nucleotides are degraded into nucleosides by phosphatase enzyme that remove the phosphate group from a nucleotide.
  • Then hydrolysis of Nucleosides into base and sugar is caused by the enzyme Nucleosidase.

What happens in meiosis I that doesnt occur in meiosis II?
Marta_Voda [28]

Meiosis is the process of reduction of diploid cells to haploid cells and it involves two process meiosis 1 and meiosis 2.

Meiosis 1 involving the crossing over of the genetic material between the pair of chromosomes whereas meiosis 2 involves the separation of the chromosomes into sister chromatids.
