Consider statements about human immunity: 1. Innate immunity is present from birth. 2. Vaccination provides artificial active immunity. 3. Antibodies are produced by T-lymphocytes. Which are correct? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Consider statements about human immunity: 1. Innate immunity is present from birth. 2. Vaccination provides artificial active immunity. 3. Antibodies are produced by T-lymphocytes. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1 and 2 only
C. 1, 2 and 3
D. 1 and 3 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Innate immunity is the non-specific defense mechanism present by birth, including physical barriers and phagocytes. Vaccination introduces antigens to stimulate the body's own antibody production, conferring artificial active immunity. Antibodies (immunoglobulins) are produced and secreted by B-lymphocytes (plasma cells), not T-lymphocytes, which are involved in cell-mediated immunity. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #1
Charles Darwin proposed the theory of evolution by:
A. Natural selection
B. Mutation theory
C. Use and disuse of organs
D. Inheritance of acquired characters

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Charles Darwin, an English naturalist, proposed the theory of evolution by natural selection in his seminal book 'On the Origin of Species' (1859). His theory, based on observations from his voyage on the HMS Beagle (especially the Galapagos finches), states that species evolve over time through the process of natural selection, where individuals with advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce.

A. Villi increase the surface area for absorption in the small intestine.
B. Trypsin is secreted by the pancreas.
C. Bile is produced in the gall bladder.
D. Pepsin is active in the acidic environment of the stomach.

Question #3
The valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is the:
A. Tricuspid valve
B. Pulmonary semilunar valve
C. Bicuspid (mitral) valve
D. Aortic semilunar valve

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The bicuspid valve (mitral valve) has two cusps and is located between the left atrium and left ventricle, preventing backflow during ventricular systole. The tricuspid valve is on the right side. Semilunar valves are at the exits of the aorta and pulmonary artery. Mitral valve prolapse is a common condition.
