Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The correct option is(B): These obtained from different parents and for one antigen. Monoclonal antibodies are uniform molecules designed to target a specific antigen. They are produced by introducing the antigen of interest into a rodent, such as a rat or mouse. Subsequently, cells from the spleen that generate these antibodies are isolated and merged with myeloma cells, resulting in the creation of monoclonal antibodies.
