The diversity and specificity of the lymphocyte repertoire against any potential antigen it may encounter is due to the rearrangement of gene segments that code for the antigen receptors.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The rearrangement of gene segments that code for the antigen receptors is known as V(D)J recombination, which generates a vast and diverse repertoire of lymphocytes with different antigen specificity. Therefore, the statement is true.
