AIIMS 2019 Zoology Immune Tolerance MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Immunity tolerance developed by

A

Interaction with the antigen

B

By giving antibodies

C

Present by birth

D

By giving antibiotics

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Immunity tolerance is primarily developed through the interaction with antigens, where the immune system learns to recognize self-antigens and refrain from mounting an immune response against them. This process is crucial for preventing autoimmune diseases. Option B is incorrect because giving antibodies does not induce tolerance; rather, it provides passive immunity. Option C is misleading, as while some tolerance mechanisms can be innate, most are acquired through exposure to antigens. Option D is irrelevant, as antibiotics target bacteria and do not influence the immune tolerance process.
