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.

Which event most accurately describes cytokinesis?
Talja [164]
Cytokinesis is the process wherein actual division of the cell, including the cell membrane and the cytoplasm, from the parent cell to two daughter cells. The correct answer in this question is "the metaphase plate is the beginning area for cytokinesis" as the metaphase plate dictates the midpoint of the cell. A cell with a cell wall (plant cell, for example) cannot perform cytokinesis with a cleavage furrow but with a cell plate. Phragmoplast only develops in plant cells. Lastly, cytokinesis only starts after telophase.
