multiple choice 1 point when a mother passes immunoglobulins to her nursing infant, this transfer of immunity to the infant is considered as... active immunity passive immunity feral immunity innate immunity
Passive immunity is when antibodies are transferred from one individual to another. In this case, the mother is passing immunoglobulins (antibodies) to her infant. Active immunity involves the body's own immune system producing antibodies after exposure to an antigen. Feral immunity is not a standard term in immunology. Innate immunity is the body's first - line, non - specific defense (e.g., physical barriers like skin, phagocytic cells). Since the immunity is transferred (not produced by the infant's own immune system), it is passive.
