This is a specific response because in order to fight antigens, white blood cells, the most important cells of the immune system, must produce large, Y-shaped proteins known as antibodies to fight these invaders. This is a type of specific defense (as I have identified antibodies as specific defenses is the chart above).

Correct answer: Specific immune response

The specific immune response also called as adaptive or acquired immune system is a system that contains highly specialized, systemic cells that prevent the growth of pathogen or eliminate the pathogen out of the body.

When a body encounters an antigen, it starts the formation of a complex protein called the antibody, which is made specifically to a particular antigen.

The white blood cells make the specific immune response and are responsible for the production of the antibody that destroys the pathogen.

<span>I believe that the pattern that would be expected is both 14 N and 15 N, this is because the DNA was replicated in a conservative manner. Semi conservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one new strand, while Conservative replication would leave the two original template DNA strands together in a double helix and would produce a copy composed of two new strands containing all of the new DNA base pairs</span>
