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

Vaccination provides which type of immunity?
A. Artificial passive immunity
B. Natural passive immunity
C. Natural active immunity
D. Artificial active immunity
Answer: Option D
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 specific gravity of normal urine is approximately:
A. 0.800-0.900
B. 1.050-1.100
C. 1.015-1.030
D. 1.000

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Urine specific gravity, a measure of solute concentration, normally ranges from 1.015 to 1.030. It varies with hydration status: low when dilute (after drinking), high when concentrated (dehydration). Diabetes insipidus shows low SG, diabetes mellitus may show high due to glucose.

Question #2
Consider statements about human diseases: 1. HIV attacks the immune system. 2. Malaria is caused by a virus. 3. Tuberculosis affects the lungs. Which are correct?
A. 1, 2 and 3
B. 2 and 3 only
C. 1 and 2 only
D. 1 and 3 only

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) specifically targets and destroys CD4+ T-helper cells, severely compromising the immune system and leading to AIDS. Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which primarily affects the lungs (pulmonary TB). Malaria is not caused by a virus; it is caused by a protozoan parasite of the genus Plasmodium, transmitted by the Anopheles mosquito. Thus, statements 1 and 3 are correct.

Question #3
The '9+2' arrangement of microtubules is characteristic of:
A. Cilia and flagella
B. Intermediate filaments
C. Mitotic spindle fibers
D. Centrioles and basal bodies

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The '9+2' arrangement refers to nine doublets of microtubules surrounding a central pair, which is the classic axoneme structure of motile cilia and flagella. Centrioles and basal bodies possess a '9+0' arrangement (nine triplets, no central pair). Mitotic spindle fibers are single microtubules, and intermediate filaments lack a tubular microtubule structure entirely.
