MAVERICK [17]3 years ago

The answer is true.
<span>Antigens are molecules capable to induce an immune response, "targeted" by antibodies. Antigens are usually proteins, peptides, or polysaccharides but they can combine with lipids and nucleic acids and form more complex antigens (lipopolysaccharide). Usually, antigens are exogenous (foreign substances), but sometimes are part of the host itself (in an autoimmune disease). All of them contain an epitope which is a part of an antigen that can be recognized and bound by an antibody.</span>

Compare and contrast point mutations and chromosome mutations and explain the basis for classifying a mutation as beneficial, ne
zepelin [54]
<span>Point mutations are of two types: Substitutions of bases that are the change of one base of DNA by another. And Transitions that are replaced on a pyrrhic basis by another pyrrhic or a pyrimidine by another pyrimidine. Transversions: substitution of a pyrrhic base by another pyrimidine or vice versa. These mutations are negative because they affect only one of the nucleotides, and therefore, only one triplet of bases are affected. When the mutation does not affect the individual it is a silent mutation. Chromosomal mutations Changes in the structure of the diploid chromosomes, where one of the chromosomes has a mutation, will have another normal. They can hinder the process of meiosis in the carrier since it hinders the correct pairing of the homologous chromosomes. It would produce an unfeasible offspring or with mutations.</span>
