Introduction:
The process of sporulation in soil organisms such as Bacillus anthracis and Clostridium tetani requires an asymmetrical cell division in which the compartment of forespore becomes the spore. It helps the bacteria to survive in adverse conditions. The sigma factors and anti-sigma factors help in gene expression in prokaryotic organisms.

True or False: An IgM monomer can bind as many as 10 epitopes?
An important mechanism for generating diversity in immunoglobulin light chain V-region sequences is based on the fact that the RAG recombinase generates hairpin structures, rather than blunt ends, at the cleavage sites between the recombination signal sequences and the coding sequences. Explain how this mechanism generates diversity at the junctions.
Explain the role of an anti-sigma factor.
