Answers
Answer:
1) Artificial Immunity - Artificial immunity is a mean by which the body is givenimmunity to a disease by intentional exposure to small quantities of it.
2) Innate Immunity - Innate immunity refers to nonspecific defense mechanisms that come into play immediately or within hours of an antigen's appearance in the body. These mechanisms include physical barriers such as skin, chemicals in the blood, and immunesystem cells that attack foreign cells in the body.
3) Epitope - The part of an antigen molecule to which an antibody attaches itself.
4) Karyotype - The paratope is the part of anantibody which recognizes anantigen, the antigen-binding site of an antibody. It is a small region (15–22 amino acids) of the antibody's Fvregion and contains parts of the antibody'sheavy and light chains. The part of the antigento which the paratope binds is called an epitope.
5) Non-disjunction of chromosome - Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids to separate properly during cell division.
