Vaccination provides which type of immunity? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Vaccination provides which type of immunity?
A. Natural active immunity
B. Artificial active immunity
C. Artificial passive immunity
D. Natural passive immunity
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Vaccination involves the introduction of a weakened, killed, or partial pathogen (antigen) into the body. This stimulates the immune system to produce its own antibodies and memory cells without causing the disease. Since the body actively produces the immune response due to an artificial stimulus, it is called artificial active immunity.

Question #1
The vitamin that is a coenzyme in the decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA is:
A. Riboflavin (B₂)
B. Thiamine (B₁)
C. Pyridoxine (B₆)
D. Niacin (B₃)

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), derived from vitamin B₁, is a cofactor for pyruvate dehydrogenase, which catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to acetyl-CoA. Riboflavin is FAD, niacin is NAD, pyridoxine PLP for transamination.

Question #2
The term 'cell' was coined by:
A. Robert Brown
B. Robert Hooke
C. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
D. Rudolf Virchow

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Robert Hooke observed thin slices of cork under a microscope he designed and saw honeycomb-like compartments which he termed 'cells' in his 1665 book 'Micrographia'. Leeuwenhoek discovered living cells (bacteria, protozoa). Brown discovered the nucleus (1831), and Virchow proposed that all cells arise from pre-existing cells (1855). Hooke's cells were dead, empty cell walls of cork.

Question #3
In binomial nomenclature, the 'type specimen' collected during the original discovery of a species is called the:
A. Paratype
B. Isotype
C. Syntype
D. Holotype

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The holotype is the single physical specimen designated by the original author when the species is first formally described. It serves as the ultimate reference point for that species name. An isotype is a duplicate of the holotype, syntypes are multiple specimens cited when no holotype was designated, and paratypes are additional specimens cited in the original description.
