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.

How can we use rocks to determine how an area used to look in the past?
Kamila [148]
Through looking at layers of rock you can tell what kind of things transpired. If you find Fish fossils you can assume that at one point in time, there may have been a body of water of some sort. if you find certain plants, you can deduce that there was a forest or a grassy pasture. Or if there are variations in the layer you may be able to tell what kind of soil was there at one point in time, or maybe if there is volcanic rock, you could rightly assume there was a volcanic eruption at some point.
