A. Adaptive immunity
B. Innate immunity
C. Passive immunity
D. Active immunity

Question #2
The enzyme Taq polymerase, used in PCR, is obtained from:
A. Salmonella typhimurium
B. Escherichia coli
C. Agrobacterium tumefaciens
D. Thermus aquaticus

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Taq polymerase is a thermostable DNA polymerase enzyme isolated from the thermophilic bacterium Thermus aquaticus, found in hot springs. It is used in the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) because it can withstand the high temperatures (around 94°C) required for the denaturation step of PCR without being destroyed, unlike normal DNA polymerases.

Question #3
The hormone that stimulates the secretion of testosterone from Leydig cells is:
A. FSH
B. LH
C. Inhibin
D. GnRH

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Luteinizing hormone (LH) binds to Leydig cells in the testes, stimulating testosterone production. FSH stimulates Sertoli cells for spermatogenesis. GnRH is hypothalamic.
