- 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: Neusrophils19788. BCG vaccine is used for:
- 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-Lymphocytes19791. Cytotoxic T-Cells _
- 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.
