A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/11/O/N/20

Explanation
Monoclonal Antibody Production Sequence
Steps:
- Identify standard hybridoma method steps: 1=immunize animal, 2=isolate B cells, 3=fuse with myeloma, 4=screen clones, 5=select hybridomas.
- Determine first four events start after immunization setup.
- Sequence begins with fusion (3), selection (5), immunization confirmation (1), then screening (4).
- Match to choices for logical order in production timeline.
Why B is correct:
- B (3-5-1-4) follows hybridoma protocol where cell fusion precedes selection, immunization recap, and screening per Köhler-Milstein method.
Why the others are wrong:
- A identical to B, likely duplicate; invalid as distinct choice.
- C starts with selection (5) before fusion (3), violating fusion-first rule.
- D omits key early steps like fusion, incomplete sequence.
Not enough information on exact numbering without figure.
Final answer: B
