Answer

  1. Both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation:

This can be explained in terms of memory cells. After the infection disappears as a result of antigen-antibody interaction and killer T-cell-nonself cell interaction, some of the specific lymphocytes remain in lymphatic tissue as "memory or primed cells" which are ready to produce the antibodies and killer cells if the same antigens reappear. That is why the second attack of the infectious disease elicits quick and abundant antibody formation. The memory cells can give rise to more effector cells and memory cells in case of a second attack of antigens. Whereas the effector cells have a life of a few days only. and the memory cells live long, some even for whole life. The memory cells are stored in the spleen and lymph nodes.
