True/False
The generation of a complete coding sequence for an antibody heavy chain involves a lymphocyte-restricted process of DNA rearrangement that links V, D, and J gene segments together to form the exon that encodes the heavy chain V region. A similar type of DNA rearrangement is also utilized for the simultaneous expression of IgM and IgD antibodies by the same B cell.
