Answer:

a-B

b-N

c-BT

d-BT

e-BT

Explanation:

a. epitopes may consist of non-sequential amino acids --------->  B (is only true for epitopes for BCRs)

b. epitopes are often from the interior of an antigen -------------> N (IS ONLY TRUE FOR EPITOPES FOR TCR)

c. epitopes can be present in immunogens  ------------------> BT (True for both TCR and BCRs )

d. epitope binding to the antigen receptor obeys the 12/23 rule -------------> BT (True for both TCR and BCRs )

e. multiple identical epitopes may be present in a single antigen --------------> BT (True for both TCR and BCRs )

Which of the following applies to human skin color?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

A. Heritable

C. Affected by the MC1R gene

D. Polygenic trait

Has evolved due to evolutionary processes such as natural selection.

Explanation:

Human skin color is a polygenic trait as it is regulated by more than one gene. Each allele of these genes has an additive effect on the overall skin color of an individual. Therefore, the trait is a continuous trait, not a discrete one. The genes for human skin color are transmitted from parents to progeny which in turn makes it a heritable trait.

The gene MC1R codes for melanocortin 1 receptor and thereby, regulate the skin color of humans since melanocyte-stimulating hormone binds to the receptor to trigger the synthesis of melanin from melanocytes. Evolution of various skin color in human beings is regulated by natural selection which in turn favors the skin tone best suited under the prevailing climatic conditions of a particular human population

A carrier mother (XHXh) of hemophilia marries a normal father(XHY). *Use allele letter H What are the mothers and fathers genoty
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: The mother of the man can be either XHXH or XHXh and pass her normal allele to the son and his father can be either XHY or XhY, he only passes his Y chromosome. The mother of the woman can be XHXH or XHXh and the father could be XhY, then she could have inherited the normal allele from the mother and the affected allele from the father. But also, the mother of the woman could be XHXh or XhXh and the father could be XHY, so in this case she could have inherited the normal alele from the father and the affected allele from the mother.

Explanation:

Hemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot properly. This can cause bleeding either spontaneously or after an injury.

<u>It is related to the X chromosome and it is recessive for females</u>, this mean they need both affected alleles to develop the trait. <u>Males only need one recessive allele because they only have one X chromosome</u>. This means that females need both parents to be at least carriers (although one or both can also have the disease or both recessive alleles). While males inherit it only from the mother, either she is a carrier (one recessive allele) or she has the disease (both recessive alleles). Then the mother passes the X chromosome with the affected allele to the son, and that son only receives the Y chromosome from the father, which does not have the gene that determines this disease.

If the mother is a carrier, her genotype is XHXh, being XH the normal allele and Xh the affected allele. She does not have hemophilia because she has a dominant allele. The father is XHY, so he does not have the disease because his only allele is normal (dominant)

The mother of the man can be either XHXH (she can only pass a normal allele) or XHXh and pass her normal allele to the son (in this case, the recessive allele is not inherited by chance.) His father can be either XHY or XhY, he only passes his Y chromosome which is not related to the disease. The mother of the woman can be XHXH or XHXh and the father could be XhY, then she could have inherited the normal allele from the mother and the affected allele from the father. But also, the mother of the woman could be XHXh or XhXh and the father could be XHY, so in this case she could have inherited the normal alele from the father and the affected allele from the mother.
