  A mother who had suffered from chicken pox in her childhood, is now taking care of her child, who is suffering from the same disease. What are the chances of her mother having chicken pox? Explain.

Answer:

           The chances of mother having chicken pox is nill because she became immune to this disease. When the immune system first encounteres an infectious microbe, it responds against it and then remembers it specifically. So, when the next time that particular microbe enters into the body, the immune system responds with greater vigour and eliminates infection more quickly.
