Answer to Problem 1P

The innate immunity is a sudden nonspecific response to the foreign body. The adaptive immunity is a slow, more time taking and specific response to the foreign body.

Explanation of Solution

The difference between the adaptive and innate immunity is given below:

Adaptive immunity Innate immunity
It produces a specific response to the antigen. It produces a nonspecific response to the antigen.
It is dependent on the antigen. It is not dependent on antigen for the response.
It is dominant in the middle and late stages of infection. It predominates in the early stages of the infection.
It is highly specific, and the specificity for the antigen of this immune system increases over time. It is less specific.
The response to reinfection is very high as compared to the primary. Response to the reinfection is almost the same as the primary response.
It is a time-consuming process. It is a spontaneous reaction.
There is a high immunological memory in this type of immunity. No immunological memory is observed.
