Immunity that results from antibodies that pass through the placenta from mother to fetus is called ________ immunity.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Passive immunity

Explanation:

Passive immmunity is a transfer of humoral immunity that passes from mother to fetus via the placenta. Mothers have already made antibodies against pathogens that she fought before and passes that to the foetus in her womb. This continues to happen after child-birth, during breast-feeding, until a baby develops her own fully functional immune system naturally and through passive immunizations.
