Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

They will differ because MHC molecules of the donor may stimulate rejection of the graft tissue as opposed to a receiver rejecting it in an immune response. That is because the MHC molecules are a group of genes that code for proteins found on the surfaces of cells that help the immune system recognize foreign substances and the surfaces are what is being transplanted during a tissue graft, meaning they are the ones that will ultimately reject the tissue graft operation.
