Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Naturally acquired passive immunity is the immunity that results from the transfer of antibodies from a mother to her fetus during pregnancy. These antibodies provide the newborn with temporary protection until the baby's own immune system is fully developed. It is considered a passive form of immunity because the baby does not actively generate its own antibodies.
