| Assertion (A): | The government of India has banned the use of amniocentesis for sex determination. |
| Reason (R): | Amniocentesis is a prenatal diagnostic technique that can also be used to detect chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |

| 1. | Education on sexually transmitted diseases |

| 3. | Promotion of natural family planning methods |
| 4. | Compulsory sterilization of individuals with genetic disorders |
A statutory ban on amniocentesis in India was necessary because:
| 1. | It is very expensive |
| 2. | It can tell about chromosomal aberrations |
| 3. | It is an invasive procedure and carries a high risk of abortions |
| 4. | It can be used for pre-natal sex determination of the fetus leading to female feticides |
What does RCH stand for?
| 1. | Reproductive and Complete Health |
| 2. | Regional and Central Healthcare |
| 3. | Reproductive and Child Healthcare |
| 4. | Reproductive and Cumulative Health |
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
|
|
Contraceptive |
Mechanism of action |
|
1. |
Barrier |
Prevent fertilization |
|
2. |
Cu – IUDs |
Cu ions suppress sperm motility and their fertilizing capacity |
|
3. |
Hormone releasing IUD |
Prevent implantation and make cervix hostile but do not affect fertilization |
|
4. |
Oral combination pill |
Prevent ovulation, implantation and alter the quality of cervical mucus |
| I: | is the most effective permanent form of contraception available to men. |
| II: | protects against sexually transmitted infections. |
| 1. | Both I and II are correct |
| 2. | Only I is correct |
| 3. | Only II is correct |
| 4. | Both I and II are incorrect |
Which of the following can be used by females as injectable or implant contraceptives?
| I: | Progesterone alone |
| II: | Estrogen alone |
| III. | A combination of progesterone and estrogen |
| 1. | I and II only |
| 2. | I and III only |
| 3. | II and III only |
| 4. | I, II and III |
| Assertion(A): | Periodic abstinence, in which the couples avoid or abstain from coitus from day 10 to 17 of the menstrual cycle, is regarded as a natural method of contraception. |
| Reason(R): | Natural methods work on the principle of avoiding chances of ovum and sperms meeting. |
| 1. | (A) is true; (R) is false |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) correctly explains (A) |
| 3. | (A) is false; (R) is true |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) does not correctly explain (A) |
| 1. | highly effective and easily reversible methods of contraception |
| 2. | highly effective but poorly reversible methods of contraception |
| 3. | ineffective but easily reversible methods of contraception |
| 4. | ineffective and poorly reversible methods of contraception |
| I: | Lippes loop is non medicated IUD. |
| II: | IUDs increase phagocytosis of sperms within the uterus and the Cu ions released suppress sperm motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms. |
| III: | The hormone releasing IUDs make the uterus unsuitable for implantation and the cervix hostile to the sperms. |
| IV: | IUDs are ideal contraceptives for the females who want to delay pregnancy and/or space children. |
| V: | It is one of most widely accepted methods of contraception in India. |
