Answer:

The two strands of DNA are replicated in different ways

Explanation:

DNA replication is a process that occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle that consists of making two identical copies of the double-stranded DNA molecule, which subsequently are distributed in the daughter cells during cell division. During this process, DNA polymerase can add nucleotides in 5' to 3' direction, but not in 3' to 5' direction. In consequence, the DNA strand that has 3’ to 5’ directionality can be synthesized directly, while the DNA template strand that has 5’ to 3’ directionality can't be synthesized in a continuous manner and thereby it is created by adding small DNA fragments, which are known as Okazaki fragments (150-200 nucleotides in size).

3. Memory cells that trigger a primary immune response

4. T cells that trigger a primary immune response

Answer:

1. Memory cells that trigger a secondary immune response

Explanation:

During the first infection when the body is invaded by a particular antigen, the immune system tries to identify the type of antigen. B lymphocytes make antibodies when the antigen has been identified in the event of a primary infection. The response of the immune system during the primary infection of that pathogen is usually slow. As soon as the primary infection is arrested by the antibodies produced in response, memory cells such as the memory B cells is formed, which enables the immune system to identify the same pathogen, and thereby triggers a faster secondary immune response in subsequent infections by the same pathogen.
