1:Describe the various stages of T cells and the events that occur during each of these stages during T cell development.  What stages of T cell development would be affected in mice with the following genetic mutations? Justify your answer. a) Mice that do not express MHC Class I molecule. b) Mice that do not express Rag1 c) Mice that do not express the pre-T-alpha chain 2:Transgenic mice that have constitutive expression of Rag1/2 are being used in an experiment to study pre-BCR signaling. Based on your knowledge of early B cell development, speculate on what might be the fate of BCR rearrangement and how will this affect further development of B cells in the bone marrow? please answer in full detail I want long well explained answers.

Defense Mechanism

Circumstances influence and compel people to behave in a certain way. One such behavior is a defense mechanism. It is employed by people to escape from unpleasant circumstances, thoughts and actions. Defense mechanisms are, thus, psychological strategies that help to avert and avoid unwanted feelings such as guilt or shame and situations such as threat and danger.
