Consider statements about human immunity: 1. IgG is the most abundant antibody in blood. 2. IgE is involved in allergic reactions. 3. IgA is found in mucosal secretions. Which are correct?
A. 1 and 3 only
B. 1, 2 and 3
C. 2 and 3 only
D. 1 and 2 only
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is the most abundant antibody in blood plasma, providing long-term immunity and crossing the placenta. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) is present in small amounts and binds to mast cells, triggering the release of histamine during allergic reactions. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is predominantly found in mucosal secretions like saliva, tears, and breast milk, providing localized mucosal immunity. All statements are correct.

Question #1
Consider statements about human anatomy: 1. The heart pumps blood throughout the body. 2. The lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. 3. The kidneys produce urine. 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 A


Explanation:
The heart is a muscular pump that circulates blood through the cardiovascular system, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tissues and removing waste. The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system, where gas exchange occurs: oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. The kidneys are the primary excretory organs, filtering blood to remove metabolic waste, excess water, and ions, producing urine. All statements are correct.

Question #2
Assertion (A): Restriction enzymes are used in recombinant DNA technology.
Reason (R): They cut DNA at specific recognition sequences.
A. A false, R true.
B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
C. A true, R false.
D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Restriction endonucleases cut DNA at specific palindrome sequences, generating sticky or blunt ends, which can be ligated to vector DNA. This is the basis of genetic engineering. R explains A.

Question #3
Assertion (A): Oxygen is required for aerobic respiration.
Reason (R): Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain.
A. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation.
B. A true, R false.
C. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation.
D. A false, R true.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In aerobic respiration, oxygen accepts electrons at the end of the ETC, forming water. Without it, the chain would halt. This directly explains why oxygen is required.
