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.

Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide negatively affects coral reefs by: select one:
Ksenya-84 [330]
Increased atmospheric carbon dioxide will diffuse to the ocean water (since normally, there is lower concentration of dissolved carbon dioxide in the ocean water). The dissolved carbon dioxide takes into the form of carbonic acid thereby increasing acidity of ocean water. More often than not, the acidification of ocean water leads to detrimental results especially in marine organisms that are pH sensitive such as coral reefs and many invertebrates.

What are the items that attach on the inside of the mineral to give the mineral its shape
Tom [10]

Answer:

Molecules.

Explanation:

Molecules are the items that attach on the inside of the mineral to give the mineral its shape. The molecule of a mineral is a crystal three-dimensional regular structure (arrangement) of chemical particles that are bonded together and determines its shape.

Due to the fact that, these molecules are structurally arranged or ordered and are repeated by different symmetrical and translational operations they determine the shape of minerals.

While mRNA strands are being created, a sequence is sometimes miscopied. What is the worst that could happen to a cell should th
kupik [55]

Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be The cell will not make functional proteins from that mRNA strand.

The amino acid sequence of the proteins is derived from the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA (messenger ribonucleotide).

If the sequence of mRNA is miscopied, it will change the sequence of amino acids of the protein.

Consequently, the protein may become non-functional.
