What role do all antigen-presenting cells (APCs) play?

Biology

lbvjy [14]3 years ago

Answer:

b). activation of T cells

Explanation:

An APC (antigen-presenting cell) can be described as an immune cell, which detects, uptakes, and informs the acquired immune response when an infection takes place. B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells are antigen-presenting cells.

These cells play an important role in activation of T cells. T cells are unable to recognize soluble or free antigens and can only recognize antigens processed and presented by carrier molecules, such as MHC molecules.

Presence of MHCII molecules is a defining feature of APCs that process and present antigens to T cells. Hence, all antigen-presenting cells help in activation of T cells.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

Duchene muscular dystrophy, or DMD, is a recessive, x-linked disease. What would you expect to see in the offspring of a woman w
Harman [31]

It is expected to see in the offspring of a woman who has DMD and a man who does not have the disease that all of their sons and none of their daughters will have the disease

Option A.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Duchene muscular dystrophy, also known as DMD is a recessive, x-linked disease. It occurs when there is a mutation in the dystrophin gene. This mutation further affects the muscles of the body leading it to degenerate and ultimately death.

When a woman with DMD and a man without DMD have an offspring, their daughters and the sons will get the mutated gene signature from the mother as she is the carrier. But since the father has normal genes, the daughters will become the carriers and will not be afflicted by it. This is because the normal X chromosome from the father will be passed on to them. The sons on the other hand will have the disease as they will get one of their mother's X chromosome which would be carrying the mutated gene.
