RAG1 and RAG2 are enzymes that control gene splicing on B-cell antibody genes, which order are segments worked on in the creation of the heavy-chain gene segment?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The heavy-chain gene segment is created by the splicing together of a variable (V) segment and a joining (J) segment, followed by the splicing in of a constant (C) segment. Therefore, option B, which states that DJ segments are spliced together first, followed by the V segment, is the correct order in which the segments are worked on by RAG1 and RAG2 enzymes.
