Question:
Identify the statement that is NOT correct.
Identify the statement that is NOT correct.
Show Hint
Antigen-binding = N-terminal (Variable region).
Updated On: May 4, 2025
- The heavy and light chains are held together by disulfide bonds.
- Antigen binding site is located at C-terminal region of antibody molecules.
- Constant regions of heavy and light chains are located at C-terminus of antibody molecules.
- Each antibody has two light and two heavy chains.
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
The antigen-binding site of an antibody is located at the \textit{N-terminal} region (variable region), not the C-terminal region. The other statements are correct: Heavy and light chains are linked by disulfide bonds, constant regions are at the C-terminus, and each antibody has two heavy and two light chains.

- Immunity in our body is of two types: (i) Innate immunity and (ii) acquired immunity. Innate immunity is a non-specific defence mechanism, whereas acquired immunity is pathogen-specific; it is called specific immunity too. Acquired immunity is characterised by memory. Antibodies are specific to antigens and there are different types of antibodies produced in our body: they are IgA, IgE, IgG, IgC, and IgM. It shows primary response when it encounters the pathogen for the first time and secondary response during the subsequent encounters with the same antigen/pathogen. Name the two types of specialised cells which carry out the primary and secondary immune response.

Consider a water tank shown in the figure. It has one wall at \(x = L\) and can be taken to be very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension \(S\) and density \( \rho \), the liquid surface makes angle \( \theta_0 \) (\( \theta_0 < < 1 \)) with the x-axis at \(x = L\). If \(y(x)\) is the height of the surface then the equation for \(y(x)\) is: (take \(g\) as the acceleration due to gravity)
