Monoclonal antibodies (biology only) (HT only)
Question
- A. They are produced from multiple cell types.
- B. They are specific to one type of antigen.
- C. They can bind to any protein.
- D. They are only used in animal testing.
Answer
The correct option is They are specific to one type of antigen. because it matches the approved biology in Uses of monoclonal antibodies within Monoclonal antibodies (biology only) (HT only).
Explanation
The correct option is They are specific to one type of antigen. because it stays accurate for Uses of monoclonal antibodies in Monoclonal antibodies (biology only) (HT only). It matches the approved learning objective about describe the use of monoclonal antibodies in laboratories to measure hormones and other chemicals in blood or to detect pathogens and avoids the oversimplified distractors.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Applications
Students often confuse the use of monoclonal antibodies for measuring hormones with their use for detecting pathogens.
To fix this, students should clearly differentiate between the specific applications of monoclonal antibodies in laboratories, focusing on the context of measuring hormones versus detecting pathogens.
