<span>It is important that antibodies have a symmetrical quaternary structure to create two identical binding sites for antigens. An antibody is a relatively large protein having a Y-shape. Plasma cells produce antibodies which are then used by the immune system to fight off pathogens (e.g. bacteria and virus). The antibody is able to recognize the antigen of the pathogen. It binds with it either to neutralize it directly or “tag” the microbe for future attack by other parts of the immune system. </span>

Describe the weather conditions that characterize the chaparral biome.
ki77a [65]
This is a very hot and dry area. The winter can be mild and usually about 50° F (10°C). It is so hot and dry at 40 °C that fires and droughts are very common.The chaparral biome has many different types of terrain. Some examples are flat plains, rocky hills and mountain slopes. It is sometimes used in movies for the "Wild West". <span>The animals are all mainly grassland and desert types adapted to hot, dry weather. A few examples: coyotes, jackrabbits, mule deer, alligator lizards, horned toads, praying mantis, honey bee and ladybugs.

I hope this helps.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sequencing the human genome is the function of the human genome project with the goal of determining the base pairs/order of DNA nucleotides that make up human genome, and also identifying and mapping all of the genes of the human genome both from the physical level and its functions in molecular medicine. The benefits in this field could allow for better diagnosis of disease, early detection of certain diseases, and gene therapy and control systems for drugs.

Inborn errors of metabolism are rare genetic (inherited) disorders where the body cannot properly digest and turn food into energy through the normal pathway. The disorders are usually caused by mutations in specific enzymes that help in the break down of these foods.

Through the study of the human genome, sequences involved in these mutations giving rise to these disorders are identified and mapped to their variuos locations. This can help in the early diagnosis of the disorders and effective control system for drugs and gene therapy against these disorders.
