Antibody diversity is a consequence of
A)the huge number of antibody genes.
B)shuffling of antibody genes into different combinations during B cell development.
C)differential regulation of antibody gene expression under different circumstances.
D)the many types of viruses that exist in nature.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antibody diversity is mainly due to the shuffling of antibody genes during B cell development. This process is called V(D)J recombination, which allows for the generation of a vast number of unique antibody molecules with different antigen specificities. The other choices are not directly responsible for generating antibody diversity.
