The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which components of immunoglobulins do not join via disulfide bonds, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Immunoglobulin Structure**: - Immunoglobulins (Ig) are composed of heavy chains and light chains. Each immunoglobulin molecule has two heavy chains and two light chains. 2. **Identify Regions of Immunoglobulin**: - The immunoglobulin structure has variable regions (where antigen binding occurs) and constant regions. The variable regions are crucial for recognizing antigens. 3. **Recognize the Role of Disulfide Bonds**: - Disulfide bonds are covalent bonds that help stabilize the structure of immunoglobulins. They connect heavy chains to light chains and also connect the two heavy chains together. 4. **Analyze the Options**: - **Option 1**: Two heavy chains - These are connected by disulfide bonds. - **Option 2**: Light chain with heavy chain - These are also connected by disulfide bonds. - **Option 3**: Two light chains - These are not connected by disulfide bonds as they do not interact in the same way as heavy chains do. 5. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is that disulfide bonds do not join the two light chains. ### Final Answer: The immunoglobulin disulfides do not join **the two light chains**.
