  1. With both husband and wife of group 0

  2. Husband of group 0 and wife of group A

  3. Husband of group A and wife of group 0

Correct Option: A

Which blood group called as universal donar?

bio-chemistry immunity and blood groups blood group blood groups and compatibility advance blood groups and transfusion compatibility of blood groups

  1. $AB$

  2. $A$

  3. $B$

  4. $O$

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Type O ( specifically O negative ) blood is called the universal donor type because it is compatible with any blood type. O blood group does not contain any antigen hence does not result in transfusion reactions.


So, the correct option is 'O'.

Between persons of which two blood groups is the blood transfusion not possible

bio-chemistry immunology blood group blood groups and compatibility advance blood groups and transfusion

  1. 0 and AB (AB recipient)

  2. 0 and A (0 donor)

  3. 0 and B (0 donor)

  4. 0 and AB (AB donor)

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The people of blood group AB can receive transfusions of blood from people of any of the four blood groups, are called universal recipients.

Which is true of blood group agglutination test?

  1. Blood group AB when coagulation occurs with antiserum A

  2. Blood group B when coagulation occurs with antiserum B

  3. Blood group O when coagulation occurs with antiserum A as well as B

  4. None of the above.

Show answer
Correct Option: B

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
Which of the following is an example of codominance?

bio-chemistry immunology blood group blood groups and compatibility advance blood groups and transfusion

  1. Pink flowers of snapdragon

  2. The ABO blood groups in humans

  3. Sex-linkage in humans

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
  • Pink flowers of Snapdragon is a heterozygote phenotype and an intermediate phenotype of the two homozygous phenotypes from which it originates. It is an example of incomplete dominance.
  • Codominance is seen when both the alleles are expressed simultaneously and neither of the alleles is dominant over the other. In human ABO blood grouping system both the alleles I$^A$ and I$^B$ are codominant and hence in the AB blood group individuals both the antigens, A and B are seen. So, the human ABO blood grouping is an example of codominance.
  • The expression of the sex chromosomes in humans differ in males and females and hence are said to be sex-linked.
So, the correct option is 'The ABO blood groups in humans'.

Consider the following statements about phagocytes in man. 
1) They provide the second line of defense. 
2) They can recognize and distinguish between self and non-self. 
3) They have antigen receptor.
Which of the above statements are true?

bio-chemistry aids to health immunity and the lines of immunity immune system of the body immunity and blood groups

  1. Only 1 and 2

  2. Only 1 and 3

  3. Only 2 and 3

  4. All are true

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Phagocytes are the type of cells present inside the body capable of engulfing bacteria and other small cells in the body and provide second line defense. It means that they destroy invaders in a generalized way and activate via antigen receptors that bind to an antibody attached to antigen without recognizing between self and non-self.

So the correct option is "Only 1 and 3".

Note the following :
(A) Skin                               (B) Phagocytes
(C) Antibodies                     (D) Inflammation 
(E) Antibodies                     (F) T- cells
(G) Fever                            (H) Antimicrobial proteins
(I) NK-cells                          (J) Secretions 
Identify the factors involved in $2^{nd}$ line of defence

bio-chemistry aids to health immunity and the lines of immunity immune system of the body immunity and blood groups

  1. Louis Pasteur

  2. Robert Koch

  3. Edward Jenner

  4. Iwanowsky

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

  • Edward Jenner, an English physician, and scientist is called the father of immunology. 
  • Jenner was the pioneer of the smallpox vaccine, as his experiments opened the pathway of the discovery of the immune system. 
  • He observed the immune capabilities by injecting pus of an infected person to a healthy host. 
  • The healthy person was not infected rather the antigen in the pus activated the immune response.

So, the correct answer is option C.
