Consider statements about human diseases: 1. Bacterial diseases can be treated with antibiotics. 2. Viral diseases are often prevented by vaccines. 3. Fungal diseases are caused by protozoa. Which are correct?
A. 2 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 1 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Bacterial infections (like tuberculosis, pneumonia) are effectively treated with antibiotics, which target specific bacterial structures or metabolic pathways. Many viral diseases (like polio, measles, influenza) can be prevented through vaccination, which stimulates the immune system to develop memory against the virus. Fungal diseases (like ringworm, candidiasis) are caused by fungi, not protozoa; protozoa cause diseases like malaria and amoebiasis. Thus, statements 1 and 2 are correct.

Question #1
The type of joint found between the vertebrae is:
A. Suture
B. Hinge joint
C. Cartilaginous joint
D. Ball and socket joint

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Intervertebral discs are fibrocartilaginous joints (symphyses) that allow slight movement and absorb shock. Hinge joints are in knee/elbow, ball-and-socket in hip/shoulder, sutures are immovable fibrous joints in skull.

Question #2
In which stage of mitosis do chromosomes align at the cell equator?
A. Anaphase
B. Prophase
C. Telophase
D. Metaphase

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
During metaphase, the nuclear envelope has completely disappeared, and the chromosomes, attached to spindle fibers at their kinetochores, are moved to the center of the cell. This alignment of chromosomes at the cell equator is called the metaphase plate. This stage is crucial for the equal distribution of genetic material to daughter cells.

Question #3
The hormone that stimulates the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidney is:
A. Antidiuretic hormone (ADH)
B. Renin
C. Natriuretic peptide
D. Aldosterone

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Aldosterone, secreted by the adrenal cortex, increases sodium reabsorption (and water follows) and potassium secretion in the distal tubule and collecting duct. ADH increases water reabsorption only. Renin is an enzyme, natriuretic peptides inhibit sodium reabsorption.
