Which of the following contribute to antibody diversity?
A) Gene rearrangement AND imprecise joining
B) Imprecise joining AND combinatorial associations
C) Imprecise joining AND negative selection
D) Gene rearrangement, imprecise joining AND combinatorial associations
E) Positive selection, negative selection AND gene rearrangement

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gene rearrangement allows for the creation of different V, D, and J segments, imprecise joining can result in random insertion or deletion of nucleotides, and combinatorial associations allow for different combinations of heavy and light chains. Therefore, all three contribute to antibody diversity.
