Explanation / Answer

15. The process of conversion of a mutant back into the wild type is called Reversion. Here, when the wild type is converted into a mutant by addition of a base then in the reversion process the mutant is converted into wild type again by the removal of the base.

20. The antibodies produced by the immune system recognizes the antigens and provides immunity to the body against specific diseases.
