When an antigen attacks the body, it activates adaptive immunity. This adaptive immunity produces a strong response when it enco

Answer:

Option). the ability to remember the antigen it encounters

Explanation:

The adaptive or acquired immunity is a type of immunity, which develops by the exposure of pathogens during lifetime. Four features of adaptive immunity includes specificity, diversity, memory, and ability to differentiate between self and non-self.

Cells of adaptive immunity (B cells and T cells) are specific for pathogens. Once the antigens or their components are recognized by pathogens, these cells produce effector cells and memory cells.

These are the memory cells that remember the antigens and provide a rapid and more efficient response during subsequent encounters of those antigens.

Thus, the correct answer is first option.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

it is located 1000 nucleotides upstream of the gene’s core promoter - true

it is located 1000 nucleotides downstream of the gene’s core promoter- true

it is in the gene’s coding region - False

Explanation:

These enhancers are located 50 or more kilobases from the promoter they controlled upstream from a promoter, downstream from a promoter within an intron, or even downstream from the <u>final exon</u> of a gene which can be thousands of bp away from the gene's core promoter and can also occur thousands of nucleotides away from the gene's core promoter needing the activity of a DNA -bending protein that binds to the enhancer changing the shape of the DNA and allow interactions between the activators and transcription factors.
