If negative selection of T-lymphoctyes in the thymus never occurred, what would likely happen? The specificity of the immune sys

tem would improve. T-lymphocytes would bind self-antigens. Mature T-lymphocytes would lack CD proteins. T-lymphocytes would be unable to bind nonself-antigens.

Answer:

The correct answer would be "T-lymphocytes would bind self-antigens".

Negative selection of T-lymphocytes takes place in the cortico-medullary junction in the thymus.

It removes T-lymphocytes which show high-affinity binding with self-antigen. Thus, it helps in introducing self-tolerance in T-lymphocytes.

In absence of negative selection, T-lymphocytes which show high-affinity binding for self-antigen would survive and develop into mature T-lymphocytes.

Consequently, T-lymphocytes would able to bind to self-antigens of the body which can result in autoimmune disease.

Explain the process of natural selection: <br> give specific examples.
Leno4ka [110]

Natural Selection is: <u>the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring.</u>


An example of this is our appendix. We no longer use our appendix because food nowadays is softer than what our ancestors used to eat.

Our ancestors could quickly digest (through their appendix) tree barks because they ate them frequently versus now we don't even use them at all

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

As we know, the plasma membrane of the cells is semi-impermeable, that is, it only allows the passage of some molecules in sizes and specific burning nature. Although the Na + and Cl- molecules are very small, they are polar, electrically charged molecules. These molecules are not well seen by the membrane, which does not allow them to pass into the intracellular medium.
