In a process called _____,an army of plasma cells and memory cells are produced from properly stimulated B cells.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The process described is clonal selection, which occurs when a B cell is properly stimulated by an antigen and undergoes cell division, producing an army of plasma cells (which secrete antibodies) and memory cells (which provide long-term immunity). Neither conjugation nor meiotic regeneration are relevant processes in immune response, and while recombination and genetic shuffling do occur during B cell maturation, they are not the specific processes described in the question.
