Answer:

Evolution is not the same as adaptation or natural selection. Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations.

14). Clonal selection and differentiation of B cells activated by antigen exposure leads to the production of ________. A) large
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) short-lived plasma cells that secrete antibodies for the antigen

Explanation:

Each B lymphocyte has an antigen receptor (BCR: B cell receptor), a surface immunoglobulin (IgM or IgD), that binds to specific domains of the antigen called antigenic determinants or epitopes. Only B lymphocytes with a high antibody affinity for the antigen, and which are capable of processing and presenting it, will be positively selected. In this contact between the two cells, an exchange of chemical signals takes place that leads to the activation, clonal proliferation and differentiation of B cells into two sister subclones: one of antibody-secreting plasma cells, and the other of memory primed B cells. Therefore, only these last positively selected B lymphocytes will survive, proliferate and differentiate into plasma cells, synthesizing and secreting antibodies of a single isotypic class, with a unique specificity and high affinity, improving the ability to adhere to the antigen and, thus , neutralize and destroy pathogens.

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. "It binds to DNA in a sequence-specific manner".

Explanation:

It is not true that histones bind to DNA in a sequence-specific manner. Histones and DNA have nonspecific bindings (occuring at any DNA sequence) given mostly by electrostatic interactions. DNA is a macromolecule that is highly negatively charged because of its phosphate residues, while histones are proteins that are highly positively charged because of its high content of positively charged amino acids. In consequence, the binding of histones and DNA occurs mostly in a nonspecific fashion given by electrostatic interactions.

schepotkina [342]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

When a channel protein aids in movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration, the type of diffusion is called "Facilitated Diffusion". It is not simple diffusion.
