Identify the wrong statement with a reference to immunity.
When ready-made antibodies are directly given, it is called “Passive immunity”.
Active immunity is quick and gives a full response.
Foetus receives some antibodies from the mother, it is an example of passive immunity
When exposed to antigen (living or dead) antibodies are produced in the host's body. It is called "Active immunity"
'Active immunity is slow and takes time to give its full effective response' Therefore, the statement claiming it is quick is incorrect. The other statements are correct: Active immunity involves antibody production upon exposure to antigens and passive immunity involves the transfer of ready-made antibodies, such as from mother to foetus via the placenta
