<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is C. A person with Down syndrome has three copies of chromosome 21 instead of two copies. An extra chromosome 21 was present in either the sperm or the egg cell.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Down Syndrome is the most genetic condition in the United States caused by the error in the cell division called 'disjunction'.

A normal person has two copies of chromosome 21 while a person with down syndrome has three copies of it in either the sperm or the egg which fails to separate.

Trisomy=3 chromosomes; 1 more than the required pair (2)

21=the type of chromosome

So, here we can eliminate A and B.

Now we have C and D.

I know that when sperm cell(s) simultaneously fertilize [an] egg, a class of identical twins will form. Therefore, we can eliminate D, leaving us with merely C. Henceforth, C is your final answer.

Which receptor on the helper T-cell recognizes the specific antigen from an antigen-presenting cell? Which receptor on the helpe
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

TCR

Explanation:

Helper T cells are the CD4T cells that are present in the inactive form. These cells have receptors for antigens on their surface. These antigen receptors are called T-cell receptors (TCRs). The function of TCR is to recognize and bind to specific foreign antigen fragments that are presented in antigen–MHC complexes. Different helper T cells have their unique TCRs to recognize a specific antigen–MHC complex. The CD4 proteins of helper T cells also interact with the MHC antigens and help maintain the TCR–MHC coupling.
