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.

Which of the following is not a sign of possible pest infestation?
Brrunno [24]

The right answer is smelly garbage.

Infestation is the penetration into the body of a parasite whose nature is not microbial.

smelly garbage is not synonymous of infestation, because the olfactory system only detected smelly metabolites of these microorganisms. This does not necessarily mean that the microorganism has managed to penetrate the body.

By cons other proposals are signs and tools for infestation (torn packaging with food leaking out, dead insect bodysuits, feathers, and fur).
