Consider the given two statements:
I: | Rhinovirus, the most common virus causing common cold has a tendency to affect the upper respiratory tract. |
II: | The mucosa associated lymphoid tissue is not present in the upper respiratory tract. |
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct and II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect
Identify the incorrect statement regarding Entamoeba histolytica:
1. | Cysts of Entamoeba can survive for up to a month in soil or for up to 45 minutes under fingernails. |
2. | Invasion of the intestinal lining results in bloody diarrhea. |
3. | Infection remains confined to the gastrointestinal tract. |
4. | Infections can sometimes last for years if there is no treatment. |
Fecal-oral route is not involved in the transmission of:
1. | Polio | 2. | Amoebic dysentery |
3. | Ascariasis | 4. | Filariasis |
The diagram shows the structure of an antibody molecule. Which number shows the antigen binding site?
1. | 1 | 2. | 3 |
3. | 4 | 4. | 5 |
In the given diagram, A and B respectively represent:
1. | The N and the C terminus of the polypeptide |
2. | The C and the N terminus of the polypeptide |
3. | The constant and variable regions of the antibody molecule |
4. | The variable and constant regions of the antibody molecule |
1. | Tetanus is acquired through infection of a cut or wound with the spores of the bacterium Clostridium tetani., |
2. | Tetanus can be easily transmitted from person to person. |
3. | Tetanus can be prevented through immunization with tetanus-toxoid-containing vaccines (TTCV). |
4. | People who recover from tetanus do not have natural immunity and can be infected again. |
Assertion (A): | If a person is infected with some deadly microbes to which a quick immune response is required as in tetanus, we need to directly inject the preformed antibodies or antitoxin. |
Reason (R): | This type of immunization is called passive immunization. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
Assertion (A): | In vaccination, a preparation of antigenic proteins of pathogen or inactivated/weakened pathogen (vaccine) are introduced into the body. |
Reason (R): | The vaccines also generate memory – B and T-cells that recognise the pathogen quickly on subsequent exposure and overwhelm the invaders with a massive production of antibodies. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are False |
2. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
I: | A is thymus and it is a secondary lymphoid organ. |
II: | B is MALT and is a primary lymphoid organ. |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
I: | The primary lymphoid organs are where immature lymphocytes differentiate into antigen sensitive lymphocytes. |
II: | The thymus is quite small at the time of birth and keeps increasing in size with age. |
III: | Antigens trapped in the lymph nodes are responsible for the activation of lymphocytes present there and cause the immune response. |
