What are antibodies?

  1. Glycoproteins

  2. Lipoproteins

  3. Phosphoproteins

  4. Blood cells


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Antibodies belong to immunoglobulins which are glycoproteins in blood plasma used in immunity and contain oligosacharride chains.

Immature B cells express :

  1. Only IgM antibody isotype

  2. Only IgA antibody isotype

  3. Only IgD antibody isotype

  4. Both IgE and IgG antibody isotype


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Immature B cells which are never exposed to an antigen express only IgM antibody isotype  but express IgD too,when they are mature.

The antibody which gives passive immunity to the foetus is

  1. IgA

  2. IgM

  3. IgG

  4. IgE


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

It is the only antibody isotype which can cross the placenta of the foetus to provide passive immunity.

Which of the following types of immunoglobulins is involved in allergies ?

  1. IgD isotype

  2. IgA isotype

  3. IgG isotype

  4. IgE isotype


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

 IgE antibodies bind to allergens and trigger release of histamine from mast cells and thus gets involved in allergies.

The immunoglobulin isotype found only in mammals is

  1. IgG

  2. IgE

  3. IgM

  4. IgD


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 IgE isotype is found only in mammals and is involved in allergies.

Presence of D antigen on red blood cells surface denotes that a person is

  1. Rh+

  2. Rh-

  3. HIV+

  4. HIV-


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Presence of rhesus factor in a person's Rh blood group system is denoted by the presence of D antigen on red blood cells surface.

Erythroblastosis foetalis is a/an

  1. autoimmune disease

  2. mineral defeciency disease

  3. embryonic development stage

  4. alloimmune disease


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

 Alloimmune condition refers to a condition when the body gains immunity from another individual of the same species. In erythroblastocis foetalis, some  maternal antibodies pass through placenta and attack red blood cells of the foetus causing anaemia and other life threatening symptoms in the newborn.

Which of the following is not a phase in menstrual cycle in human females?

  1. Ovulation

  2. Menarche

  3. Luteal phase

  4. Follicular phase


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Menarche refers to the first menstrual cycle in the life of a female and is not a phase in menstrual cycle.

Stenosis refers to :

  1. widening of heart vessels

  2. pain in heart muscles

  3. narrowing of heart vessels

  4. accumulation of cholesterol in heart vessels


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 Narrowing of heart vessels may occur due to clogging by cholesterol or other reasons and abnormal narrowing is called stenosis.

Accumulation of lipids in artery walls is termed as

  1. angina pectoris

  2. myocardial infarction

  3. pulmonary oedema

  4. atherosclerotic heart disease


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

 Accumulation of lipids in arteries causes reduced blood supply to the heart due to the formation of  atheromatous plaques [lipids,macrophages] and this condition may give rise to heart attack and  is termed as atherosclerotic heart disease.

The amniotic sac in human females is made of

  1. an outer amnion and inner chorion

  2. an outer umbilical cord and inner allantois

  3. a single layer of chorionic villi

  4. an outer chorion and inner amnion


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

 Amniotic sac is protected to the inner side by a membrane called amnion and towards the outer side is protected by a membrane called chorion.

Which hormone forms the basis of pregnancy tests?

  1. Leutenizing hormone

  2. Follicle-stimulating hormone

  3. Progesterone

  4. Human chorionic gonadotropin


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

 This hormone is secreted by the trophoblast cells of the embryo, so its presence confirms the presence of a foetus and thus it imples that pregnancy has set in.

Vitelline duct is a part of

  1. human male reproductive system

  2. human female reproductive system

  3. human embryo

  4. endometrium of uterus


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 Vitelline duct also called umbilical duct appears in human embryo at the end of fourth week and it connects the yolk sac of embryo to the mid-gut.

The three germ layer formation in human embryo takes place during

  1. cleavage

  2. blastula

  3. organogenesis

  4. gastrula


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

 Gastrula stage follows after blastula and during this stage the cells of blastula develop into a tri-laminar structure and the three germ layers namely ectoderm,mesoderm and endoderm develop.

Which of the following processes of cell movement in gastrula involves free movement of cells as mesenchyme cells?

  1. Ingression

  2. Involution

  3. Invagination

  4. Epiboly


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

 Many types of cell movements occur during gastrula stage of human embryo and ingression is one such stage when cells leave an epithelial sheet to become freely migrating mesenchyme cells.

Cleavage in mammals is considered as

  1. meroblastic

  2. holoblastic

  3. diploblatic

  4. superficial


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Mammalian zygote undergoes total cleavage as yolk is less in amount and thus holoblastic .

Chondrogenesis refers to

  1. development of muscles during organogenesis

  2. development of cartilage during organogenesis

  3. development of bones during organogenesis

  4. development of notochord during organogenesis


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue during organogenesis and this is called chondrogenesis.

Embryonic stem cells are derived from

  1. inner cell mass of blastocyst

  2. blastocoel

  3. inner cell mass of gastrula

  4. cells of trophoblast


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Inner cell mass of blastocyst  or emryoblast lies as a mass of cells in blastocyst  and give rise to embryonic stem cells and this part is used in stem cell research.

The primitive gut formed during gastrulation is called

  1. blastocoel

  2. vitelline duct

  3. archenteron

  4. amniotic sac


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 Archenteron is formed during gastrulation and is a cavity formed by invagination of cells of vegetal pole of blastula and at the end of gastrulation develops into the digestive tube and thus is considered as the primitive gut.

In the foetus, blood passes from right atrium to left atrium through

  1. fossa ovalis

  2. foramen magnum

  3. foramen rotundum

  4. foramen ovale


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

 Foramen ovale ia a passage between the two atria in foetus through which blood passes and it closes to form fossa ovalis in adult heart.

Cells in the zygote start to lose their totipotency during

  1. cleavage

  2. blastula

  3. gastrula

  4. organogenesis


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

 Cells lose their totipotency during this stage which means that cell differentiation initiates leading to development of organs eventually.

Haldane effect is associated with

  1. white blood cells

  2. haemoglobin

  3. lymph

  4. platelets


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

 Haldane effect named after the scientist who first described it and it states that deoxygenated haemoglobin has more affinity for carbon-di-oxide than oxygenated haemoglobin.
