Question:
Part of antigen that binds to the specific part of antibody is called
Part of antigen that binds to the specific part of antibody is called
Show Hint
Epitope = antigenic determinant; specific part of antigen recognized and bound by antibody.
Updated On: Jun 3, 2025
- Paratope
- Isotope
- Biotope
- Epitope
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
The part of an antigen that specifically binds to the antibody’s antigen-binding site is called the epitope.
The paratope is the part of the antibody that binds the antigen.
Isotope refers to variants of elements, not related here.
Biotope is an ecological term, unrelated.
Thus, the correct term for the antigen region that binds antibody is epitope.
The paratope is the part of the antibody that binds the antigen.
