Chapter 8, Problem 1Q
Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Priming is regarded as the first contact of a T or B cell with its particular antigen, which further leads to differentiation into effector B or T cells (cytotoxic, antibody, cytokine). The priming of immature T cells needs dendritic cell antigen presentation. The priming of the immature CD8 T cell produces cytotoxic T cells possessing the tendency of directly eradicating the pathogen-infected cells.

Answer to Problem 1Q

Correct answer:

The correct answer is option (a) it occurs in primary lymphoid organs.

Explanation of Solution

Explanation for the correct answer:

Option (a) it occurs in primary lymphoid organs. The process of priming of T cells does not take place in primary lymphoid organs. Primary lymphoid organs are the locations where the lymphocytes are produced and gets developed. So, the correct answer is option (a).

Explanation for the incorrect answer:

Option (b) it transforms naïve T cells into differentiated effector T cells. In T-cell priming, the transformation of naïve T cells into differentiated T cells takes place. Thus, the mentioned statement is not relevant to the given question. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (c) It is the first stage of a primary adaptive immune response. T cell priming is an initial stage of a primary adaptive immune response. Thus, the mentioned statement is not relevant to the given question. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (d) It requires interaction between the naïve T cells and antigen presenting cells. The priming of immature T cells needs dendritic cell antigen presentation. Thus, the mentioned statement is not relevant to the given question. So, this is an incorrect option.

Option (e) It takes place in many locations, but not limited to lymph nodes, Peyer's patches, and the tonsils. T cell priming takes place when the T cell comes in contact with the antigen, and it can take place in various locations. Thus, the mentioned statement is not relevant to the given question. So, this is an incorrect option.

Conclusion

All of the following are true in reference to T-cell priming except that it takes place in primary lymphoid organs. Hence, the correct answer is option (a) it occurs in primary lymphoid organs.

Use the following information to answer the question(s) below. Martin Wikelski and L. Michael Romero (Body size, performance and fitness in Galápagos marine iguanas, Integrative and Comparative Biology 43 [2003]:376-86) measured the snout-to-vent (anus) length of Galápagos marine iguanas and observed the percent survival of different-sized animals, all of the same age. The graph shows the log snout-vent length (SVL, a measure of overall body size) plotted against the percent survival of these different size classes for males and females. Survival (%) 100- 80- 60- 40- 20- 0+ 1.9 T 2 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 Log SVL (mm) 19) Examine the figure above. What type of selection for body size appears to be occurring in these marine iguanas? A) directional selection B) stabilizing selection C) disruptive selection D) You cannot determine the type of selection from the above information. 3
24) Use the following information to answer the question below. Researchers studying a small milkweed population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not. They identify the gene responsible for toxin production. The dominant allele (T) codes for an enzyme that makes the toxin, and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin. Heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin. The genotypes of all individuals in the population are determined (see table) and used to determine the actual allele frequencies in the population. TT 0.49 Tt 0.42 tt 0.09 Refer to the table above. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A) Yes. C) No; there are more homozygotes than expected. B) No; there are more heterozygotes than expected. D) It is impossible to tell.
30) A B CDEFG Refer to the accompanying figure. Which of the following forms a monophyletic group? A) A, B, C, and D B) C and D C) D, E, and F D) E, F, and G
