Match the entries in column – I with that in column – II

 
Column – I
Column – II
A. Cataract 1. Eye ball shortens
B. Glaucoma 2. Eye ball is stretches
C. Hypermetropia 3. Degeneration of rods due to vitamin A deficiency
D. Nyctalopia 4. Eye lens becomes opaque
  1. A - 4, B - 3, C - 2, D - 1

  2. A - 2, B - 1, C - 4, D - 3

  3. A - 4, B - 2, C - 1, D - 3

  4. A - 3, B - 2, C - 4, D - 1

  5. A - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Cataract is a condition in which the eye lens becomes progressively opaque resulting in blurred vision. In glaucoma eye ball is stretches Eye ball shortens in hypermetropia. Nyctalopia is degeneration of rods due to vitamin A deficiency.

  1. Glossitis

  2. Wilson's disease

  3. Menkes disease

  4. Minimata disease

  5. Osteomalacia


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Menkes disease, also known as kinky-hair disease, is a rare X-linked recessive, lethal, neurodegenerative disorder of impaired copper transport.

  2. Conn's syndrome

  3. Ateliosis

  4. Addison’s disease

  5. Adrenal virilism


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Conn's syndrome is a disease of the adrenal glands involving excess production of a hormone, called aldosterone.

Which of the following diseases are associated with hyposecretion of vasopressin?

  1. Hypoglycemia

  2. Simmond’s disease

  3. Diabetes insipidus

  4. Hypocalcemia

  5. Myxoedema

Which of the following are examples of autosomal recessive genetic disorder? P. Cystic fibrosis Q. Haemophilia R. Phenylketonuria S. Neurofibromatosis

  1. Only P and Q

  2. Only P and R

  3. Only P and S

Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Yes, this is the correct answer. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects most critically the lungs and also the pancreas, liver and intestine. Phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive metabolic genetic disorder characterised by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the gene for the hepatic enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase, rendering it nonfunctional.

Match the column – I (Vitamins) with column – II (disease associated with their deficiency):

 
Column – I
Column – II
A. Vitamin B3 1. Haemorrhage
B. Vitamin D 2. Rickets
C. Vitamin E 3. Pellagra
D. Vitamin K 4. Liver necrosis
  1. A - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4

Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Vitamin B3 (Niacin) deficiency causes the disease pellagra in humans. Rickets is a softening of bones in immature mammals due to deficiency of vitamin D. Vitamin E deficiency in animals causes several disorders such as reproduction failure, liver necrosis, etc. Vitamin K deficiency leads to haemorrhagic conditions.

Assertion (A): Albinism is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder. Reason (R): Albinism is caused due to inability to produce melanin pigment.

Directions: In the following question there are two statements, Assertion (A) and Reason (R), consider both the statements independently and mark your answers as under:
1. If A and R both are correct and R is correct explanation of A.
2. If A and R both are correct and R is not correct explanation of A.

  1. 1

  2. 2

  3. 3

  4. 4

  5. 5


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Both A and R are correct statements. Albinism is an autosomal recessive hereditary disorder. Albinism is caused due to inability to produce melanin pigment characterised by absence of normal colouration of skin.
