Answer:

Following are the unique features of acquired immunity:

(1) Specificity: Production of specific antibody or Tlymphocyte against a particular antigen/pathogen is called specificity.

(2) Diversity: Ability to recognize vast variety of diverse pathogens or foreign molecules by immunity is called diversity

(3) Discrimination between self and non- self: Acquired immunity can differentiate between own body cells (sel) and foreign (non-sel molecules).

(4) Memory: The first immune response upon encounter of a specific foreign agent and its elimination is retained as a mernory. This results in quicker and stronger immune response when the same pathogen is encountered again.
