Answer 1

Immunity:

1. Immunity is the ability of an organism to recognize the disease-causing germs and provide resistance to them.
2. Immunity can be categorized into two kinds - innate immunity and adaptive immunity.
3. Innate immunity is inherited by a child at the time of birth.
4. Immunity developed due to the generation of antibodies is called adaptive immunity.
5. Adaptive immunity is of two types - active and passive.
6. Active immunity occurs when antibodies are generated in response to an antigenic peptide from a pathogen.
7. Passive immunity develops when antibodies are introduced into our body from outside.

Active immunity gets developed due to the generation of antibodies in our body in response to the entry of an antigen from outside.
