Question

1. Which of these is matched incorrectly? A) innate immunity - nonspecific responses B) acquired immunity - responses directed toward specific invaders C) active immunity - an immune response started and developed by the cells D) actively acquired immunity - immunity passed via the placenta or milk to offspring E) Each of these is correctly described.

Answer 1

Answer:

D) actively acquired immunity - immunity passed via the placenta or milk to offspring

Explanation:

The option that is matched incorrectly is, actively acquired immunity - immunity passed via the placenta or milk to offspring. The immunity that is passed via the placenta or milk to the offspring is passively acquired, so there is a mismatch in this answer. Actively acquired immunity refers to the immunity that was acquired after an infection. As the offspring acquired this immunity through the placenta it was passively acquired.
