Solution:
1. The correct option is (C) i.e. 3
Reason - There are three individual rearrangements required as the first rearrangement occurs from D5 to J2. It is followed by the second rearrangement i.e. V17 to D5J2. By the use of V17D5J2 , the synthesis of antibodies IgM and IgD molecules occur. The last reaarangement is the class switch of V17 D5 J2 Cµ Cδ to V17 D5 J2 Cγ2 which leads to the synthesis of IgG2 molecules.
2. The correct option is (E) i.e. more than 1,200,000 specificities
Reason - There will be imprecise recombinations of VJ or VDJ segments, insertional diversity, and somatic hypermutation which leads to production of many more specifities even more than 1,200,000.
3. The correct option is (C) i.e. determined by H+L-chain variable region sequences
Reason - Heavy and long chain variable region sequences determine the antigen specificity in the B-cell. No antigen, isotype switching or either of L or H chain works for this antigen specifity. It is only determined by combination of both heavy and short chains.
4. The correct option is (D) i.e. mRNA specific to µ chains
Reason - As a result of the rearrangement of the VDJ to Cα in the IgA producing cell, the Cµ gene will be deleted. The other DNA sequences and mRNA species will also be found in the cell.
5. The correct option is (D) i.e. selective RNA splicing
Reason - Alternate splicing of the primary RNA transcript made it possible to synthesise the IgM and IgD antibodies along with the expression.
