Ans.

Opsonization is defined as an immune reaction that includes ingestion and elimination of a pathogens by phagocytes, with the help of antibodies and complement proteins.

The antibodies involve in opsonization are mainly IgG (gamma immunoglobulins). The IgG binds with pathogen via its Fab (antigen-binding fragment) domain and opsonizes it. The antibody-pathogen complex then binds with an immune cell via Fc (fragment of crystallization) domain of IgG antibody that triggers secretion of lytic proteins from immune cell to kill the pathogen.

Thus, 'opsonization is a representative of IgG antibody function.'

What features of life are suggestive of a common origin?
AlladinOne [14]
The universal genetic code known as DNA, found in all living organisms, is firm indication of a common design of all life. The actual number of first organisms is not known, making the prospect of common origin not only singular, as God, the creator of life, initially created the first life to bioform the Earth, changing the surface, the seas, and the atmosphere to prepare the environment for the progression of more complex life that would follow.

DNA is the most complex information system in the universe, firmly establishing the existence of God, the creator, as no naturalistic process could ever create life.

dybincka [34]
One of the main reasons why there is a need to create additional three kingdoms was due to the invention of the microscope. The scientific device paved way for a more intensive study of the tiny organisms most considered as single-celled which cannot be seen by the naked eye.
