A person who has AIDS contracts rare and often life-threatening infections because their helper T cell count is so low. Which of
the following components of the immune response still respond to antigen despite the low helper T cell count? Clonal selection of B cellsActivation of cytotoxic T cells by helper T cellsagglutination
Explanation: B cells are also known as B lymphocytes( a type of white blood cell),when antigens binds to receptors in the cell,B lymphocytes in the body recognizes this antigen and selection is made from the pre-existing pool of different antigens,each with it's unique specification,this B lymphocytes undergo reproduction and from there a clonal population of cells are formed which kills/get rid of the antigen.
These antigens are eliminated by either the plasma cells that form immediately from the B lymphocytes secreting antibodies that fight the antigen,but in AIDS (people living with AIDS),the B lymphocytes that fight the antigen are known as memory B cells which are long lived from the stage of proliferation and are left to fight antigens in later life by forming plasma cells.so even if the helper T cells in AIDS patients are low,the memory B cells are stimulated to form plasma cells,activate antibodies to fight off life threatening infections.
The answer is Dr Alec Jeffreys. <span>The genetic fingerprint and DNA profile are used by forensic science to help the police in their research work. The same technique has proved very useful in resolving litigation about paternity, for the identification of human remains in armed conflicts and for the identification of the corpses of historical figures.</span>
The answer is because it lowers the number of chromosomes in half, ensuring that the fusion will have the appropriate amount of chromosomes after the fusing of the sperm and the egg.
