Which of the following describes responses that occur after a sexual assault?

  1. Primary prevention

  2. Secondary prevention

  3. Tertiary prevention

  4. Both B and C

Sexual abuse is the act in which the person is forced to participate in any type of sexual activity. The steps which can be taken after a sexual assault case takes place are secondary and tertiary form of prevention. The steps which are the short term consequences are to catch the perpetrator, treatment of the victim for any injuries, counselling of the victim, etc. The steps or the approaches which are taken after the act in order to prevent the reoccurrence of the act is known as the tertiary form of prevention.

  1. Primary prevention

  2. Secondary prevention

  3. Tertiary prevention

  4. Both A and B


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sexual abuse or violence is the act in which the person is forced to participate in any type of sexual activity. There are certain steps which can be taken to prevent this act to take place. The steps or the approaches which are taken before any such act occurs is known as the primary form of prevention. The minors may be educated with topics related to sex, abuse and violence and trained for self protection.

Thus, the correct answer is option A. 

Read the following statements and select the incorrect one.

  1. Semen is preserved for artificial insemination by heating

  2. Mating of an animal within the same breed, but having no common ancestors on either side of their pedigree upto 4 - 6 generations is called as outcrossing

  3. Example of interspecific hybridisation is mule

  4. Hinny is a hybrid between the female ass and stallion.


Correct Option: A

When a species of an organism cannot form a zygote but the zygote survives, the phenomenon is known as

  1. Hybrid vigour

  2. Hybrid sterility

  3. Hybrid zygote

  4. Hybrid fertility


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Hybrid zygotes sometimes develop into adults, such as mules (hybrids between female horses and male donkeys), but the adults fail to develop functional gametes and are sterile. This phenomenon is called as hybrid sterility. Thus, option B is correct. 

Heterosis, also called hybrid vigour, the increase in such characteristics as size, growth rate, fertility, and yield of a hybrid organism over those of its parents. Plant and animal breeders exploit heterosis by mating two different pure-bred lines that have certain desirable traits. Thus, option A is wrong. 
In some cases, no barriers exist to mating between members of different species. In these cases, the zygote formed is called a hybrid zygote. Thus, option C is wrong. 
Fertility ability of a hybrid is called as hybrid fertility. Thus, option D is wrong.

The ova are released by hormone induction and fertilization by artificial insemination and then embryo is stored at 4$^o$C for several years. This technique is known as

  1. Artificial insemination

  2. Embryo transplantation

  3. Super ovulation

  4. Preservation of embryo


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Embryo cryopreservation or preservation of embryo is generally performed as a component of in vitro fertilization which generally also include ovarian stimulation, ovarian hyperstimulation or superovulation, egg retrieval, artifical insemination and embryo transfer.

Frosty from frozen embryo of boar was created by

  1. Wilmut

  2. Wilmut and Campbell

  3. Nirenberg

  4. Holley


Correct Option: A

Bull semen for the purpose of artificial insemination is stored in 

  1. Ice

  2. Liquid oxygen

  3. Liquid nitrogen

  4. Liquid CO$ _2$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Artificial insemination is a globally accepted method of breeding cattle and is also effective for other species. Semen can be stored deep-frozen in liquid nitrogen, in a chilled liquid form or at room temperature. Its low temperature of $-196^0$C and inert caracteristics prevent the deterioration of biological quality. Hence, option C is correct.
