Genetic recombination generates diversity in what specific part of the immune system?
A)Antigen receptors
B)MALT
C)Hapten
D)Interleukins
E)Epitopes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Genetic recombination generates diversity in the antigen receptors of B and T lymphocytes, allowing for recognition of a wide range of pathogens and antigens. MALT (mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue) is a type of lymphoid tissue found in the mucosal lining of various organs and is involved in immune responses against pathogens that enter through mucosal surfaces. Hapten is a small molecule that can bind to a larger molecule to form an antigen, but it does not generate diversity in the immune system. Interleukins are signaling molecules involved in regulating immune responses, but they do not generate diversity in the immune system. Epitopes are specific regions on an antigen that are recognized by antigen receptors, but they are not generated through genetic recombination.
