A. the MHC proteins are made from several different gene regions that are capable of rearranging in a number of ways B. MHC proteins from one individual can only be of class I or class II C. each of the MHC genes has a large number of alleles, but each individual only inherits two for each gene D. once a B cell has matured in the bone marrow, it is limited to two MHC response categories

What is the role of the MHC gene?

MHC is a set of genes that code for proteins located on the surfaces of cells that assist the immune system detects foreign substances.

  • All higher vertebrates include MHC proteins.
  • The complex is also known as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system in humans.

MHC protein molecules are classified into two types:

  • class I
  • class II.

Class I MHC molecules are found on the membranes of nearly every cell in an organism, but class II molecules are found only on immune system cells termed macrophages and lymphocytes.

  • In humans, these compounds are encoded by many genes that are all grouped together on chromosome 6.
  • Each gene has a disproportionately high number of alleles.

Hence, the correct answer is option C
