Somatic hypermutation of V genes ​

Biology
1 answer:
zaharov [31]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Somatic hypermutation is a process in which point mutations build up in the antibody V-regions of both the heavy and light chains.

This process occurs at rates that are about 106-fold higher than the background mutation rates observed in other genes.

It allows B cells to mutate the genes that they use to produce antibodies. This then ensures the B cells to produce antibodies that are better able to bind to bacteria, viruses and other infections.

active transport and facilitated diffusion are two types of cellular transport which statement is true of both
Dovator [93]

Answer:

I believe the correct answer is both involve proteins in the cell membrane.

Explanation:

This is because Facilitated diffusion does not require any energy to transport molecules, while Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion transports molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration (or down a concentration gradient). Active transport moves molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration (or up a concentration gradient). Answer choice A is the only choice that makes sense.

I don’t think it would change the effectiveness , if bees got used to it or it had always been like that, they wouldn’t have a problem, but if it was a sudden change then they might dislike it
