Expert Solution
Step 1

Q.

Ans:-

Explanation:- The first statement is correct as the epitope is that region on the antigen which will bind to the para-top region of the antibody so this epitope and the para-top combination will generate a further immune response.

The second statement is incorrect because there are two types of immunity one is that is acquired from birth and the same for all the types of antigens and this type of immunity is known as innate immunity.

The opposite of it is acquired immunity, in acquired immunity, an individual develops the immune response in course of interaction with antigens during the life span.
