Webbed neck is a characteristic of which of the following syndromes?

  1. Patau's syndrome

  2. Klinfelter's syndrome

  3. Down's syndrome

  4. Turner's syndrome

  5. Edwards syndrome


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Webbed neck along with receding jaw and drooping eyes are its common symptoms.

A pregnant woman, who has done amniocentesis test, finds an extra barr body in her embryo. The syndrome that is associated with the embryo is

  1. Patau's syndrome

  2. Klinfelter's syndrome

  3. Down's syndrome

  4. Edward syndrome

  5. Turner's syndrome


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Klinefelter syndrome or Klinefelter's syndrome, is the set of symptoms resulting from additional X genetic material in males. This extra barr body is due to presence of extra X chromosome in it.

Which condition is caused by mutations that involve entire chromosome rather than a single gene?

  1. Haemophilia

  2. Phenylketonuria

  3. Down's syndrome

  4. Sickle cell anemia

  5. Thalassemia


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is also called as trisomy of chromosome 21. So, this occurs due to the entire chromosomal aberration and not just a single gene.

Which of the following is the causative agent of mad cow disease?

  1. Virus

  2. Viroid

  3. Prion

  4. Bacteria

  5. Virion


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Prions are the protein particles, which are responsible for the mad cow disease.

Hansen's disease is another name of which of the following?

  1. Leprosy

  2. Tuberculosis

  3. Malaria

  4. Typhoid

  5. Hepatitis


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease (HD), is a chronic infection caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis.

What causes the abnormal growth of the tumor in cancer?

  1. Abnormal mitotic division

  2. Accumulation of body fluid

  3. Abnormal meiotic division

  4. Metastasis

  5. Extra sensitivity to antigrowth signals


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Abnormal growth of the tumor results by abnormal tendency of mitosis in the tumor cells. These keep on dividing and results into tumor.

The person which does not involve any change in number of sex chromosome of an organism has

  1. Down's syndrome

  2. Turner's syndrome

  3. Super male

  4. Super female

  5. XXXY syndrome


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

It is trisomy of chromosome number 21. Hence,  it does not involve the change in sex chromosome number.

In which of the following diseases is an extra X chromosome present?

  1. Down's syndrome

  2. Turner's syndrome

  3. Klinfelter's syndrome

  4. Bleeder's disease

  5. Phenylketonuria


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is the set of symptoms resulting from additional X genetic material in males.

Philadelphia chromosome is found in the patient suffering from __________.

  1. insomnia

  2. hepatitis

  3. albinism

  4. myelogenous leukaemia

  5. haemolytic anaemia


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

It is a specific chromosomal abnormality that is associated with chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML).

Which of the following conditions though harmful in itself, is a potential saviour from all mosquito borne infectious disease like malaria?

  1. Pernicious anaemia

  2. Hemolytic anaemia

  3. Leukemia

  4. Thalassemia

  5. Sickle cell anaemia


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

Sickle cell anemia is a blood disease in which red blood cells reveal an abnormal crescent (or sickle) shape when observed under a conventional microscope. It provides immunity against malaria.

Which of the following is not a cancer?

  1. Sarcoma

  3. Leukaemia

  4. Melanoma

  5. Glaucoma


Correct Option: E
Explanation:

It is the disorder of eye, which develops by the improper functioning of optic nerve.

Cancer cells are more easily damaged by radiation than normal cells because _____________.

  1. in these cells mutation is absent

  2. they undergo rapid division

  3. of difference in structures

  4. non-dividing status occurs

  5. they undergo abnormal meiotic division


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Cancer cells are adapted in undergoing active mitosis.

What is metastasis?

  1. It is preneoplastic stage of cancer.

  2. Here transformation of protooncogenes occurs into oncogenes.

  3. It is the invasion of cancerous cells to surrounding tissues.

  4. It is a form of cancer that is induced by radiations only.

  5. It is a specific cancer associated with mesenchyma.


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Metastasis or metastatic disease, is the spread of a cancer from one organ or part to another non-adjacent organ or part.

44 + X in a person shows which syndrome?

  1. Patau's syndrome

  2. Turner's syndrome

  3. Edward's syndrome

  4. Down's syndrome

  5. Klinfelter's syndrome


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
