Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Memory is a unique feature of adaptive immunity, where the immune system "remembers" a specific pathogen and can mount a faster and stronger response upon future exposure. This is not a feature of innate immunity, which provides a non-specific immediate response but does not have the ability to remember specific pathogens. Inflammation (B) and interferons (C) are features of both innate and adaptive immunity, while lysozyme (D) is a component of innate immunity found in bodily fluids that helps to break down bacterial cell walls.
