antigens can trigger an immune response. is this a specific or a nonspecific defense? explain.

Specific Defense

Explanation:

Specific immune system gets activated when the pathogens (foreign elements) enter the body and are able enough to bypass the innate immune defenses thereby activating the adaptive immune system  

Specific defense is triggered by elements found on the surface of pathogens. These surface elements are called antigens. Antigens responds to these pathogens by producing antibodies specific to pathogen surface type.

the correct answer should be false

answers are:

lysogenic     viral dna merges with host cell dna

lysogenic     no symptoms

lytic               viral dna takes over

lysogenic     virus does not destroy host cell

lytic               virus destroys host cell

lytic               induces symptoms of viral infection

lysogenic       cell reproduces and spreads provirus
