1
Q

Explain an antibody diagram

A

A “Y” structure made of four polypeptides: two heavy chains and two light chains.
Fab fragment binds antigens.
Fc region binds to fc receptors (attaches to sugar molecules) and initates immune response

Q

roles of helper T-cells in cell mediated response

A

-assists B cells in antibody production
-aid macrophages in destroying microbes
-activate T cells to eliminate infected cells.

Q

process of mitosis

A

1) Chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks down.
2) Chromosomes align at metaphase plate.
3) Sister chromatids separate, pulled by spindle fibers.
4) Mitosis ends, forming two nuclei, followed by cytokinesis (mvmt of cytoskeleton) for cell division.

Q

process of meiosis

A

diploid cell —- >Homologous chromosomes separate, producing 2 haploid cells —–>
haploid cells enter Meiosis II—->
Meiosis II separates sister chromatids, and divides the 2 haploid cells into two —–> 4 haploid cells are produced—-> 4 haploid cells then mature into sperm or egg cells.
