The Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) is a set of proteins expressed on the surface of antigen presenting cells that recogn

ize and bind to pieces of antigens so that they can be presented to the appropriate T cell. Not only is the expression of these proteins controlled by more than one gene (polygenic), but individuals with different alleles for MHC proteins are heterozygous for that gene. What advantage does the MHC proteins being polygenic and codominant offer to the individual? A) There will be a lower level of immune rejection for this individual should they receive a blood or organ transplant. B) There will be an increased resistance to HIV infection, as the T cells will be less likely to be invaded by the virus. C) There is a larger variety of MHC proteins that can be expressed on the cell surfaces of their immune cells, providing a wider opportunity to recognize and attack pathogens. Eliminate D) There is an increased opportunity for anaphylaxis, as presenting a wider variety of MHC proteins on the cell surfaces of immune cells will result in a body-wide response to antigens.

Diploid (2n) number of 38, how many chromosomes would be present in an epithelial cell
sergiy2304 [10]
The epithelial cell will have 38 chromosomes
A 2n or 2(19) = 38 chromosomes. This is because n is called haploid number of chromosomes; the number of chromosomes present in the gametes. Epithelial cells like other body cells divides through the process of mitosis; therefore; the parent cells yields daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes (diploid). The other haploid (n) number is present in the gametes which divides by the process of meiosis.

Genetic variation occurs in what type of reproduction?​
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer: Sexual reproduction

Explanation: Sexual reproduction, also known as meiosis, involves two organisms. Meiosis results in four haploid cells that are genetically different due to crossing over in prophase l, random fertilization, and the arrangements of chromosomes in metaphase l.
