Human Immunity and Blood Questions
D
Correct answer
Explanation
AB blood group is formed when alleles IA and IB come together. Both alleles are equally dominant so they are equally expressed as AB group.
-
Only AB blood group
-
Only O blood group
-
Only A blood group
-
Only B blood group
-
Both A and B blood groups
E
Correct answer
Explanation
This is the correct answer. The cross can be depicted as follows:
Parents : AB x O
Genotype: IA, IB x ii
Gametes: IA, IB x i
Offsprings: IAi and IBi
-
Decrease of WBCs
-
Decrease in platelets
-
Increase in eosiniophils
-
Increase in RBCs
-
Increase in WBCs
D
Correct answer
Explanation
This condition is called as polycythemia.
-
Blood clotting
-
Blood group
-
Blood immunity
-
Blood circulation
-
Blood loss
A
Correct answer
Explanation
It is also known as factor 5. It helps in clotting of blood.
-
Sodium citrate
-
Sodium fluoride
-
EDTA
-
Acid citrate dextrose
-
Heparin
D
Correct answer
Explanation
The blood stored in blood banks is called citrated whole blood. It is protected from coagulation by acid citrate dextrose.
-
erythrocytes
-
neutrophils
-
monocytes
-
fibrinogen
-
lymphocytes
E
Correct answer
Explanation
A lymphocyte is a kind of white blood cell in the vertebrate immune system, specifically, a landmark of the adaptive immune system. It also helps in the transportation of fats.
-
Fluoride ions
-
Formaldehyde
-
EDTA
-
Benzene
-
Hydrochloric acid
C
Correct answer
Explanation
This is an anticoagulant, which is used in laboratories for blood cell counting.
-
Blood platelets
-
Chylomicrons
-
Haemoconia
-
Chyluria
-
Chyme
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Haemoconia (or Hemoconia) are small particles of lipids formed by fragmentation of the stroma of erythrocytes (red-blood cells).
-
Antigens
-
RBCs
-
WBCs
-
Antibodies
-
Platelets
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Antiserum contains polyclonal antibodies.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Spleen is an organ in which lymphoid tissue and blood are inter-mixed. Here the lymphocytes proliferate, and the worn-out red blood cells are recycled.
-
Only 1
-
Only 2
-
Only 3
-
1 and 2
-
2 and 3
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Classification Determinant-8 is a transmembrane glycoprotein present in Regulatory T cell.
-
1 and 2
-
1, 2 and 4
-
2 and 3
-
3, 4 and 5
-
4 and 5
B
Correct answer
Explanation
This option is correct because Peyer's patches, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue and adenoids are peripheral lymphoid organs.
-
Inflammation
-
Infection
-
Immunization
-
Vaccination
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Inflammation is the immune system's response where various cells (white blood cells, etc.) are recruited to the site of infection or injury to fight pathogens and begin healing. Infection is the pathogen's invasion, immunization is preventive exposure, and vaccination is a preventive method - none describe the cellular recruitment process.
-
sickle - shaped
-
dead
-
round - shaped
-
normal
A
Correct answer
Explanation
Sickle-cell anemia is caused by a genetic mutation that produces abnormal hemoglobin (HbS). When oxygen levels are low, this hemoglobin polymerizes and causes red blood cells to become rigid and sickle-shaped, unlike normal biconcave discs.
-
tissue fluid
-
plasma
-
serum
-
lymph
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Plasma is the fluid (straw-colored liquid) portion of blood that remains when red and white blood cells and platelets are removed. It contains water, proteins, electrolytes, and transports nutrients, hormones, and waste products. Serum is similar but lacks clotting factors, while lymph and tissue fluid are different bodily fluids.
