Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of adaptive immunity?
  • Step 1: Understand what adaptive immunity is. It is a part of the immune system that develops a specific response to pathogens (germs).
  • Step 2: Learn about the two main features of adaptive immunity: memory and specificity.
  • Step 3: Memory means that once the immune system has encountered a specific pathogen, it remembers it for future encounters.
  • Step 4: Specificity means that adaptive immunity targets specific pathogens, rather than responding to all pathogens in the same way.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the characteristic of adaptive immunity is its ability to remember and specifically respond to pathogens.
