GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

B cells can produce antibodies independently of T cells in certain genetic disorders affecting immune response.


Explanation:

B cells are capable of producing antibodies even if T cells are dysfunctional due to a genetic disorder. This ability is crucial for the immune response against infections. In conditions like X-linked agammaglobulinemia, where B cells are affected, antibody production is compromised, leading to increased susceptibility to certain infections.
