Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Stem cells produce lymphoid progenitors and pro-B cells in the marrow just under the bone.
Detailed explanation-2: -B lymphocytes originate in the bone marrow; their goal is to recognize an antigen. Each of them responds to the antigen in a specific way, as it expresses specific antibodies on the membrane (IgM, CD79a, and CD79b).
