The type of immunity resulting from the injection of ready-made antibodies is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The type of immunity resulting from the injection of ready-made antibodies is:
A. Cell-mediated immunity
B. Active immunity
C. Innate immunity
D. Passive immunity
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Passive immunity is acquired by receiving pre-formed antibodies from another source, providing immediate but temporary protection. Examples: antivenom, immune globulin injections, and maternal antibodies. Active immunity is generated by the body's own immune system (infection or vaccination). Innate is non-specific, cell-mediated is T-cell based.

The part of the human digestive system where most chemical digestion and absorption occurs is the:
A. Esophagus
B. Stomach
C. Large intestine
D. Small intestine

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) is the primary site for enzymatic digestion (by pancreatic enzymes and brush border enzymes) and absorption of nutrients through villi. Stomach initiates protein digestion and absorbs some water/alcohol. Large intestine absorbs water and electrolytes. Esophagus moves food.

Question #2
The technique used to produce a large number of identical copies of a specific DNA fragment is:
A. DNA sequencing
B. PCR
C. Microarray
D. Gel electrophoresis

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifies a specific DNA segment exponentially using primers, DNA polymerase (Taq), and thermal cycling. Gel electrophoresis separates DNA by size, sequencing determines base order, microarray analyzes gene expression. PCR is crucial in cloning, diagnostics, and forensics.
