Question 1
Somatic recombination to join one of many immunoglobulin V gene segments with one of a few C gene segments occurs in:
◦ B cells.
◦ T cells.
◦ Macrophages with receptors that have high affinity for conserved cytoplasmic protein motifs in pathogens.
◦ germline cells.
◦ any somatic cells.
Question 2
The J segment of an immunoglobulin gene is:
◦ short and codes for the first few amino acids of the variable region.
◦ short and codes for the last few amino acids of the variable region.
◦ short and codes for the first few amino acids of the constant region.
◦ short and codes for the last few amino acids of the constant region.
◦ highly variable in length and codes for the last few amino acids of the variable region.
