The nucleotides encoding the 13 amino acids at the C-terminal end of the V_κregion is called the ____. A)Q segment B)C segment C)J segment D)VJ segment E)M segment

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The C segment encodes the 13 amino acids at the C-terminal end of the V_κregion. The J segment encodes the amino acids at the N-terminal end of this region, and the VJ segment is formed when the V segment and J segment are joined during VDJ recombination. The Q and M segments are not relevant to this region.
