Why is it important to have antibody diversity? Differentiate between the germline theory and the
somatic theory of generation of antibody diversity. How are BOTH germline and somatic mechanisms
sources of antibdoy diversity? Why did the amino acid sequencing of antibody light
chains lead Dryer and Bennet to abandon the one gene- one polypeptide theory and propose that two genes code for a single polypeptide?
