Identify the wrong statement with reference to immunity.

1. When ready-made antibodies are directly given, it is called 'Passive immunity'.
2. Active immunity is quick and gives full response.
3. Foetus receives some antibodies from mother, it is an example for passive immunity.
4. When exposed to antigen (living or dead) antibodies are produced in the host’s body. It is called 'Active immunity'.

Correct answer: Active immunity is quick and gives full response.

Solution

Active immunity is not quick; it develops more slowly because the body must first recognize the antigen and produce its own antibodies. Passive immunity is the quick, immediate protection because ready-made antibodies are supplied.
