Chapter 41.4, Problem 3R

Summary Introduction

To review:

The diversity of the antibody molecules, in relation to the diversity of the enzymes, and whether every cell in the body contains genetic code for all the enzymes and immunoglobulin.

Introduction:

The immunoglobulins, which are also known as the antibodies, are the glycoprotein molecules and are produced by the leukocytes. They are responsible for the generation of the immune response in the body.

The enzymes are the chemical structures, which helps to increase the rate of metabolic reactions, taking place in the body of an organism. All the cells, which are found in the body have all the genes, which are capable of coding for all the enzymes and the immunoglobulins. Based on the specific function of a cell, the genes are silenced and activated.
