Practicing Success
Each antibody has \(\underline{A}\) polypeptide chains, \(\underline{B}\) small chains called \(\underline{C}\) chains and \(\underline{D}\) longer chains called \(\underline{E}\) chains. The antibody, therefore, is represented as \(\underline{F}\). Here A to F refers to: |
A–four, B–two, C–light, D–two, E–heavy, F–H 2L2 A–six, B–three, C–light, D–three, E–heavy, F–H 3L2 A–two, B–one, C–light, D–one, E–heavy, F–H 1L1 A–five, B–two, C–light, D–three, E–heavy, F–H 2L2 |
A–four, B–two, C–light, D–two, E–heavy, F–H 2L2 |
The correct answer is Option (1) -A–four, B–two, C–light, D–two, E–heavy, F–H 2L2 Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins, are protein molecules produced by B-cells as part of the immune response. Each antibody consists of several polypeptide chains. The structure of an antibody includes two types of chains: light chains and heavy chains. In the given options, the correct representation of the antibody structure is as follows: A – Antibodies have four polypeptide chains in total. B – There are two small chains called light chains. C – The small chains are referred to as light chains. D – Antibodies have two longer chains called heavy chains. E – The longer chains are referred to as heavy chains. F – The antibody structure is represented as H2L2, indicating two heavy chains and two light chains. Therefore, the correct option is (a) A–four, B–two, C–light, D–two, E–heavy, F–H2L2.
