  • A. Macrophages
  • B. Lymphocytes
  • C. Blood cells
  • D. Skin

Explanation: The correct answer is skin. The skin acts as a physical barrier, preventing harmful pathogens from entering the body.

Correct answer: Skin
  • A. C-cells
  • B. A & B cells
  • C. B & C cells
  • D. B & T cells

Explanation: The most abundant lymphocytes are B and T cells, which play critical roles in the immune system.

Correct answer: B & T cells
  • A. Attenuated vaccine
  • B. Killed vaccine
  • C. Subunit vaccine
  • D. Toxoid vaccine

Explanation: Killed vaccine has least side effect. An inactivated vaccine (or killed vaccine) is a vaccine consisting of virus particles, bacteria, or…

Correct answer: Killed vaccine
  • A. Sebum
  • B. Perspiration
  • C. Interferon
  • D. Epidermis

Explanation: The first line of defense includes physical and chemical barriers like the skin (including the epidermis), sebum, and perspiration, which…

Correct answer: Interferon
  • A. Platelets
  • B. Cytotoxic T cells
  • C. Antigens
  • D. Red blood cell

Explanation: Cytotoxic T cells are a type of T lymphocyte that specifically targets and kills cells displaying foreign motifs on their surface.

Correct answer: Cytotoxic T cells
  • A. Inactivated vaccine
  • B. Toxoid vaccine
  • C. Subunit vaccine
  • D. Live, attenuated vaccine

Explanation: Toxoid vaccines, such as those for diphtheria and tetanus, contain inactivated toxins produced by bacteria.

Correct answer: Toxoid vaccine
  • A. Eosinophils
  • B. Basophils
  • C. Neusrophils
  • D. Lymphocytes

Explanation: The most common form of white blood cells (WBCs) in the body are neutrophils.

Correct answer: Neusrophils
  • A. Lung cancer
  • B. Tuberculosis
  • C. Pneumonia
  • D. Emphysema

Explanation: Option B, "Tuberculosis," is the correct answer. The BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guérin) vaccine is primarily used for the prevention of…

Correct answer: Tuberculosis
  • A. Natural killer cell
  • B. Macrophages
  • C. Antibodies
  • D. Neutrophils

Explanation: Neutrophils are the first responders - they rush to the infection site, attack bacteria, and die in large numbers.During healing…

Correct answer: Macrophages
  • A. Platelets
  • B. Eosinophils
  • C. B-Lymphocytes
  • D. T-Lymphocytes

Explanation: The thymus gland is a primary lymphoid organ responsible for the maturation and development of T-lymphocytes (T cells).

Correct answer: T-Lymphocytes
  • A. Directly kill invaders
  • B. Aid B cells in their job
  • C. Both a and b
  • D. Suppress T cell activity

Explanation: Cytotoxic T-cells (also known as CD8+ T-cells) are a type of immune cell that directly kill infected cells, cancer cells, or cells that…

Correct answer: Directly kill invaders
  • A. Most abundant form of WBC's
  • B. Have a short life span.
  • C. Made by the thymus gland.
  • D. Released by the bone marrow.

Explanation: Neutrophils are not made by the thymus gland. The thymus gland is responsible for the maturation and development of T-lymphocytes (a type…

Correct answer: Made by the thymus gland.
  • A. It is produced at the site of tissue injury.
  • B. It has no role in the leakage of fluids into the tissues in inflammation.
  • C. It destroys phagocytes.
  • D. It produces interferon gamma.

Explanation: Bradykinin is a peptide hormone that plays a key role in the inflammatory response.

Correct answer: It is produced at the site of tissue injury.
  • A. rRNA
  • B. mRNA
  • C. DNA
  • D. Nucleotides

Explanation: A DNA molecule is a double helix carrying the genetic information of an organism.

Correct answer: DNA
  • A. CACGTC
  • B. TAGCATG
  • C. TACGAG
  • D. GACGTG

Explanation: In DNA, the base pairs are complementary to each other. Adenine (A) always pairs with thymine (T), and guanine (G) always pairs with…

Correct answer: TACGAG
  • A. Parallel
  • B. Antiparallel
  • C. ......
  • D. None

Explanation: Each strand has a backbone made up of alternating sugars and phosphate groups.

Correct answer: Antiparallel
  • A. Cytosine
  • B. Adenine
  • C. Uracil
  • D. Thymine

Explanation: Purines, such as adenine and guanine, have a double-ringed structure - one hexagonal pyrimidine ring and an imidazole ring.

Correct answer: Adenine
  • A. AUAGA
  • B. ATACA
  • C. UAUGU
  • D. ATACT

Explanation: Nucleotides are the building blocks of nucleic acids, i.e., DNA and RNA.

Correct answer: ATACT
  • A. One
  • B. Two
  • C. Three
  • D. Four

Explanation: RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) and DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) differ in their sugar components.

Correct answer: One
  • A. Interphase
  • B. Prophase
  • C. Metaphase
  • D. Anaphase

Explanation: The correct answer is Interphase. During interphase, the cell prepares for division, and the DNA in the nucleus replicates.

Correct answer: Interphase
