Question #3
The functional region of an antibody that binds to an antigen is called the:
A. Variable region
B. Fc region
C. Disulfide bridge
D. Constant region

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The variable (V) region at the tips of the antibody Y-shape contains the antigen-binding site, which is specific to a particular antigen. The constant region determines the class (IgG, IgM, etc.) and effector functions. The Fc region binds to immune cell receptors. Variability in the V region is generated by gene rearrangement, allowing immense antibody diversity.
