The right answer is: The antibodies mistakenly identify the cells as foreign material.

The role of an antibody is to recognize a foreign antigen in order to neutralize it. They can achieve this thanks to the great specificity of their paratope, which recognizes only a very precise part of the antigen: the epitope. As soon as an antibody recognizes an epitope, the B lymphocyte that codes for that specific antibody multiplies and matures in order to synthesize the same antibodies, useful in large quantities.

The phenomenon described in the question is an autoimmunity mediated by autoantibodies.

An autoantibody is an antibody produced by the immune system and directed against one or more proteins of the individual himself

Many autoimmune diseases are due to the presence of these autoantibodies, but the presence of autoantibodies is not necessarily synonymous with such a disease.

Some scientists say that they could have a beneficial role in cleaning up cell debris resulting from a disease.

The way in which these autoantibodies are produced, their precise role, and the reason why they decrease in individuals with certain diseases, are all issues that remain unresolved.

1. The right answer is in a discontinuous manner.

During DNA replication, the DNA polymerase synthesizes complementary DNA by mating on both strands, since the two strands are antiparallel, the replication is bidirectional, which means that one of the two strand is synthesized in a direction opposite to that of the direction of the enzyme, to do this, the DNA polymerase is obliged to synthesize DNA in the form of small fragments which are called Okazaki fragments, and its synthesized discontinuously (these fragments are not glued together by phosphodiester liasons, it is only after that another enzyme will intervene to ligate these fragments (DNA ligase).

B. Independent meaning by itself. Dependent meaning together, or not by itself, and since both are going 60mph and they both stop it’s dependent because they’re depending on each other to stop.
