Place the steps in the correct order to assess your knowledge of the clonal selection theory.

Top to bottom - Random rearrangements of the genes that code for cell surface protein receptors occurs, resulting in a large array of genetically distinct lymphocytes (known as clones). - At this same time, any lymphocytes that develop a specificity for self molecules and could be harmful are eliminated from the pool of diversity. This is called immune tolerance. - The specificity for a single antigen molecule is programmed into the lymphocyte and is set for the life of a given cell. The end result is an enormous pool of mature but naive lymphocytes that are ready to further differentiate under the influence of certain organs and immune stimuli. - Mature lymphocytes come to populate the lymphatic organs. Entry of a specific antigen selects only the lymphocyte that carries matching surface receptors, and that clone undergoes rapid mitosis to expand into a larger population with that receptor specificity.
