Answer to Question 1

1
Explanation:
1. As children grow, they develop immunity through immunization or exposure to the natural disease. As children mature and become more active, they interact more frequently with other children and adults and increase their exposure to infectious agents.
2. Children cannot acquire diseases from family members who have had the disease
3. Acquiring disease from other children would not give children immunity.
4. Newborns are not born with diseases in their systems.

Answer to Question 2

1
Explanation:
1. The infant's immune system is not fully developed at birth, and the infant has low levels of antibodies due to lack of exposure to antigens.
2. Newborns and young infants do have high levels of maternal antibodies, but this answer is incorrect because it does not explain the susceptibility of newborns and young infants to infection.
3. Newborns and young infants do have passive transplacental immunity, but this answer is incorrect because it does not explain the susceptibility of newborns and young infants to infection.
4. Newborns and young infants do have exposure to microorganisms during the birth process, but this answer is incorrect because it does not explain the susceptibility of newborns and young infants to infection.
