The immunoglobulin light chain does not have a D segment. In humans, there are two different possible light chain proteins, term

ed kappa and lambda. Assume that there are 35 V segments and 5 J segments in the human kappa light chain region, and there are 30 V segments and 4 J segments in the human lambda light chain region. How many possible light chain genes can be created from these different segments, simply due to combinatorial diversity

Answer:

295  

Explanation:

Antibodies (also known as immunoglobulins) are immune system-related proteins that circulate in the bloodstream in order to recognize pathogenic harmful substances (antigens) and neutralize them. An antibody consists of two immunoglobulin heavy chains and two immunoglobulin light chains. There are two types of immunoglobulin light chains: 1-the kappa (κ) light chain, which is encoded by the immunoglobulin κ locus; and 2-the lambda (λ) light chain, which is encoded by the immunoglobulin λ locus. The immunoglobulin light chain is a multidomain protein composed of two domains: 1- the N-terminal variable (V) domain and 2-the C-terminal constant (C) domain. V(D)J recombination is a type of somatic rearrangement process by which T and B cells can assemble different gene segments, which are referred to as variable (V), diversity (D) and joining (J) gene segments. In the question above the number of possible genomic recombination events between immunoglobulin gene segments can be calculated as >> (5 x 35) + (4 x 30) = 295.

What condition occurs when fluid accumulates in the lungs, preventing them from breathing adequately?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer: Pulmonary edema

Explanation:

Pulmonary edema is the condition in which there is an excess of fluid in the lungs. This fluid gets collected in the air sacs which causes hindrance in breathing.

Most of the heart related diseases causes pulmonary edema. Pulmonary edema can be caused due to pneumonia, trauma in the chest wall and exercising at higher elevations. It is very fatal if not cured on time.

Hence, the correct answer is pulmonary edema.

Which processes are part of the fast carbon cycle?
agasfer [191]

The key processes in the fast carbon cycle include: Photosynthesis: the absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere (terrestrial plants) and from oceans (marine plants) to produce organic carbon structures. Respiration: the release of CO2 into the atmosphere, soil and oceans by animals as they exhale.
