Which of the following pairs are unambiguously amino acid identical?

The correct option is justified by the concept of allelic variation within the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) genes. In this case, the pair DRB1030101 and DRB1030102 represents two different alleles of the DRB1 gene. While they may differ in their nucleotide sequences, such variations do not necessarily lead to differences in the corresponding amino acid sequences.

The structured nomenclature of MHC alleles indicates that changes in the last digits can signify differences in nucleotide sequence that do not always correlate with changes in amino acid composition. Therefore, if both alleles produce the same amino acid sequence, they are considered unambiguously amino acid identical despite the minor genetic differences reflected in their nomenclature.

In contrast, the other pairs involve alleles that represent more substantial genetic distinctions, often resulting in different amino acid sequences, thus making them not unambiguously identical at the amino acid level. This understanding highlights the specificity of the genetic coding for MHC molecules and the broader implications for histocompatibility and immune response.
