Select the best description of the negative selection process of lymphocyte maturation.

Biology
1 answer:
Studentka2010 [4]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

B) removal of lymphocytes that react with "self" cells

Explanation:

By negative selection, we mean to say that the lymphocytes which are reacting with self cells too strongly must undergo apoptosis otherwise they will cause auto-immunity which will lead to destruction of self cells.

Before negative selection, the naive lymphocytes undergo positive selection during which they are allowed to interact with MHC-I or MHC-II. This kind of selection is necessary so as to ensure that the selected lymphocytes have affinity towards MHC molecule for generation of effective immune response whenever it is required. All those cells that do not recognize self antigen undergo apoptosis because they are useless and the lymphocytes which recognize MHC moderately are selected for the next stage which is negative selection.

Once these lymphocytes have passed test for positive selection, they have to undergo test for negative selection. All those lymphocytes which are interacting very strongly with self antigen are rejected and finally undergo apoptosis.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The influenza H1N1 virus is transmitted through saliva droplets and mucus from sick people, who by sneezing or coughing without covering their mouth and nose adequately, leave the virus in the air or on their hands, infecting then the objects they touch. As a rare occurrence, a person can become infected with the flu by touching a surface or object contaminated with the influenza virus and then touching the mouth, nose, or eyes.

Pigs sometimes transmit influenza H1N1 virus to people, primarily pig farmers and veterinarians.

What kind of variation is exhibited by human bloods?
kotykmax [81]

<span>Blood provides an ideal opportunity for the study of human variation without cultural prejudice.  It can be easily classified for many different genetically inherited blood typing systems.  Also significant is the fact that we rarely take blood types into consideration in selecting mates.  In addition, few people know their own type today and no one did prior to 1900.  As a result, differences in blood type frequencies around the world are most likely due to other factors than social discrimination.  Contemporary Japan is somewhat of an exception since there are popular Japanese stereotypes about people with different blood types.  This could affect choice in marriage partners for some Japanese. </span>All human populations share the same 29 known blood systems, although they differ in the frequencies of specific types.  Given the evolutionary closeness of apes and monkeys to our species, it is not surprising that some of them share a number of blood typing systems with us as well. When we donate blood or have surgery, a small sample is usually taken in advance for at least ABO  and Rh  systems typing.  If you are O+, the O is your ABO type and the + is your Rh type.  It is possible to be A, B, AB, or O as well as Rh+  or Rh- You inherited your blood types from your parents and the environment in which you live cannot change them. I took it from a website: http://anthro.palomar.edu/vary/vary_3.htm

Crossing over is termed as a process by which genetic materials are exchanged by non-sister chromatids during meiosis.

Crossing over results in the new combination of information in genetic for, the cell for a specific trait.

 It ensures that organisms are identical from one generation to another. Genetic recombination allows variations in genetic materials which are passed through generations.
