Antibodies are produced when the body is exposed to

Biology

Antibodies are produced when the body is exposed to antigens.

During an initial encounter with a foreign antigen, the body's immune system namely the adaptive arm of the immune system, produces memory cells, a group of special lymphocytes that retain and store memory of the antigen.

On a second encounter with the same kind of antigen, the immune system "remembers" the antigen and mounts a rapid, specific and vigorous immune response against the antigen. This response includes the production of massive amounts of antibodies very specific to the antigen.

The antibodies effectively neutralize the antigen and facilitate its destruction.

Answer:

<em>C. Antigens</em>

Explanation:

Antibodies a protein formed by immune-responsive cells that is specific for a particular<em><u> antigen</u></em> and can bind to it to inactivate or destroy it.

Hope that helps!!

How Earth, the moon, and the Sun move relative to one another.
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

The sun, earth, and moon are held together by gravity, and they interact in lots of ways. The moon orbits the earth because of the pull of the earth. And the earth orbits the sun because of the pull of the sun. Because of the way they move relative to each other, we see phases and eclipses

A biologist subjects 200 plants to irradiation by X rays to induce mutations in the plants' genes. What should the biologist do
Anni [7]

Answer:

by phenotypically identifying plants unable (or with an altered ability) to synthesize auxins. This approach is called reverse genetics

Explanation:

Reverse genetics is a strategy widely used in molecular genetics aimed at analyzing the function of target genes by identifying defective phenotypes of one or more organisms following the disruption of the gene. In this case, a mutagenesis approach (i.e., irradiation with X-rays) was used to induce mutations in the gene/s involved in auxin production. Subsequently, the resulting mutant phenotypes, i.e., plants with an altered ability to synthesize auxin, can be used to reveal the biological function of individual (mutated) gene sequences.
