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

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.

Answer from: Quest

hey, i believe your answer would be d. sugar ribose and the base uracil. i believe this is the answer, because rna consists of sugar ribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine, and uracil.

your first option is incorrect, because that's dna. where it consists of sugar deoxyribose, adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine.

your second option is also incorrect, this is because sugar deoxyribose is in dna, and uracil is in rna. these two do not make sense together.

your third option being incorrect, because sugar ribose is in rna, but not the base of thymine. rna consists of uracil, not thymine.

lastly your fourth option being correct! this answer is correct, because both sugar ribose, and the base uracil are in rna! ~

answer is d. sugar ribose and the base uracil.

Will mark brainliest! 1.) jan’s sister and mother have both had breast cancer. she is wondering if she should undergo genetic testing to check for a mutation of the brca1 gene. a mutation in the brca1 gene is commonly associated with, but not guaranteed to cause, breast cancer. the presence of a mutation increases a patient’s chances of getting breast cancer to about 85 percent, compared to a 13 percent risk in the general population. costs may vary, but most labs charge patients or their insurance companies less than $3,000 to sequence the brca1 to look for mutations. do you think that jan should undergo genetic sequencing? explain your answer. (2 points) what are potential pros and cons of having such tests done? (5 points) describe how the availability of genetic sequencing can affect the frequency of genetic diseases in individuals and populations. (3 points) 2.) scientists have developed genetically engineered plants that are pest-resistant. by adding genes to the plant’s dna, they become toxic to insects (but not to plants or animals). this means that these plants may not need to be sprayed with pesticides to ward off the insects. would you be willing to eat these genetically altered crops? explain your answer. (5 points) what are some possible impacts (positive or negative) of this genetically engineered plant on the environment, society, and individuals? (5 points)
