Question

When a woman is pregnant, her developing baby receives antibodies from her. What type of immunity does this describe?

Answer 1

passive immunity

Explanation:

it is because the baby has been given antibodies rather than making them itself

Answer 2

This describes a passive type of immunity.

• There are basically two types of immunity in our bodies -

1) Active immunity.

2) Passive immunity.

• When,the immunity causing antibodies are directly obtained from any external sources,then that immunity is called a passive immunity.

• Similarly,the baby recieves antibodies from his/her mother,so it is definitely a passive kind of immunity, which is extremely necessary for the good health of the baby.
