Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

The immune system found within a human being comprises millions of cells that circulate all through the body with the help of blood. These cells help the body to fight against foreign invasions like viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens. The immune cells that primarily fight against the invasions are the white blood cells, which are further differentiated into phagocytes and lymphocytes.  

However, at the time of stress, the immune system loses the tendency to fight against the foreign invasions or the antigens, and thus, the person becomes more vulnerable to infections. At the time of stress, a hormone gets discharged known as a corticosteroid that diminishes the efficacy of the immune system, that is, by reducing the concentration of lymphocytes. Hence, option B is correct.

How might you alter a trna so that it inserts an alanine into a polypeptide for which a lysine is coded?
castortr0y [4]
TRNA stands for transfer-RNA which is used in the process of protein synthesis or translation. tRNA is a unique clover leaf like structure that has 4 arms- amino acid acceptor site (acceptor arm), D loop, T psi C loop and anticodon loop. It also has a small variable loop. The anticodon loop consists of a sequence of 3 bases that is complementary to the 3 bases present of mRNA to be translated. A tRNA for alanine will have an anticodon for alanine while a tRNA for lysine will have an anticodon for lysine. For a tRNA to insert an alanine in place of lysine in a forming peptide, the anticodon and the amino acid acceptor site should be altered so that it accepts lysine in place of alanine and add it to the growing polypeptide.
