The ability of the specific immune system to distinguish a huge of different molecules is mediated by:
A)cross reaction
B)clonal selection
C)gamma globulin
D)species immunity

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clonal selection is the process by which a specific immune response is generated against a particular antigen. It involves the activation and proliferation of selected T and B cells with receptors that can recognize the antigen, leading to the production of a large number of identical clones of effector cells targeting that antigen. This process allows the specific immune system to distinguish between a huge range of different molecules. Cross-reaction, gamma globulin, and species immunity are not directly related to this process.
