Question
- A. Explain that single hybridoma cells are cloned to produce many identical cells and that antibodies are then...
- B. A statement about another biology topic rather than Monoclonal antibodies (biology only) (HT only)
- C. A revision technique rather than the scientific idea being tested
- D. A reversed cause-and-effect version of the objective
Answer
Explain that single hybridoma cells are cloned to produce many identical cells and that antibodies are then... is the best answer for this Monoclonal antibodies (biology only) (HT only) objective.
Explanation
Explain that single hybridoma cells are cloned to produce many identical cells and that antibodies are then... is supported by the approved learning objective: "Explain that single hybridoma cells are cloned to produce many identical cells and that antibodies are then collected and purified". It stays within Monoclonal antibodies (biology only) (HT only), uses the key idea "[object Object]", and avoids distractors that either switch topic, describe a study method, or reverse the biology relationship.
Common mistake
Misunderstanding Hybridoma Cloning
Students often confuse the process of cloning hybridoma cells with the process of producing antibodies, thinking that antibodies are produced directly from the hybridoma cells rather than being collected after cloning.
Clarify that hybridoma cells are first cloned to create many identical cells, and then these cells produce antibodies, which are subsequently collected and purified.
