No. The T-cell has surface receptors made of proteins that are COMPLEMENTARY to only ONE SPECIFIC antigen due to the specific sequence of amino acids resulting in a specific tertiary structure of the protein. Thus, the T cell will only recognise the antigen it’s receptors are complementary to.

2. Which agricultural specialist is most likely to perform research to understand factors impacting the pH of soil?
Zina [86]

Answer:

D. Agronomist

Explanation:

Agronomists are professionals that study how to make soils more productive (in terms of food) around the world. Soil pH is an index that calculates the acidity/alkalinity of the soil, which is indicated on a 14-point scale (pH equal to 7 = neutral; pH below 7 = acidic,  pH higher than 7 = alkaline). In this regard, it is well known that the pH of the soils drastically affects plant development, and thereby a proper soil pH is fundamental to ensure optimal plant growth (required for nutrient intake). For this purpose, agronomists are in charge of studying and researching the pH of the soils in order to increase crop yields. Nowadays, the pH of the soils can be easily measured by digital soil pH pocket testers that utilize a pH electrode in order to calculate the pH value.

During DNA replication, the leading strand is synthesized continuously, whereas the lagging strand is synthesized as Okazaki fra
Leokris [45]

Answer:

Because DNA polymerase can synthesize DNA strands in 5' to 3' direction only.

Explanation:

The 5' end of one DNA strand is present opposite to the 3' end of the other strand. But DNA polymerase enzyme can elongate the primers in 5' to 3' direction only. Formation of a phosphodiester bond between the existing nucleotide and the incoming nucleotide requires the free 3'OH. This 3' OH serves in the nucleophilic attack during the formation of the bond.

Therefore, the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in the form of short DNA fragments. These are called Okazaki fragments. Primers are formed for short distances which in turn are elongated by DNA polymerase to form the Okazaki fragments. On the other hand, the synthesis of the leading strand occurs continuously in the same direction in which the replication fork moves.
