1. | Tuberculosis | 2. | Covid-19 |
3. | Bronchial asthma | 4. | Rheumatoid arthritis |
I: | A is thymus and it is a secondary lymphoid organ. |
II: | B is MALT and is a primary lymphoid organ. |
1. | Only I | 2. | Only II |
3. | Both I and II | 4. | Neither I nor II |
I: | The primary lymphoid organs are where immature lymphocytes differentiate into antigen sensitive lymphocytes. |
II: | The thymus is quite small at the time of birth and keeps increasing in size with age. |
III: | Antigens trapped in the lymph nodes are responsible for the activation of lymphocytes present there and cause the immune response. |
I. | AIDS is a congenital disease |
II. | Syndrome means a group of symptoms |
III. | HIV is a rotavirus |
IV. | HIV does not have an envelope |
V. | HIV can be transmitted by an infected mother to her child through placenta |

Assertion (A): | HIV/Aids infected persons should not be isolated from family and society. |
Reason (R): | There is a time-lag of a few months to many years [usually 5-10 years] between infection and the appearance of AIDS symptoms. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) explains (A). |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
4. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
I: | HIV first enters into the macrophages. |
II: | Macrophages are used by HIV as a factory to produce more virus particles. |
III: | The viral cDNA does not get integrated into any cells in the human body. |
IV: | HIV also enters the T-helper cells and destroys them. |
V: | The anti-retroviral treatment for AIDS is completely curative. |
1. | All except V | 2. | Only III and V |
3. | Only I, III and IV | 4. | All |
I: | Almost all carcinogens are mutagens. |
II: | X-rays and Gamma rays are non-ionising. |
III: | UV rays are ionising radiations. |
Assertion (A): | Early detection of cancer is essential for a favourable prognosis. |
Reason (R): | Early detection allows the disease to be treated successfully in many cases. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
4. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
1. | Leukaemias are diagnosed by blood and bone marrow tests. |
2. | CT scan uses X rays. |
3. | MRI uses ionising radiation and strong magnetic fields. |
4. | Antibodies against cancer-specific antigens can be used for the detection of certain cancers. |
Assertion (A): |
Biological response modifiers like alpha interferon can help detection and destruction of tumour cells by the
immune system. |
Reason (R): | Such biological response modifiers activate the immune system of the patient. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not explain (A). |
2. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |
3. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A). |
4. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
