38. Which is the effect of antigen in an ill person?
[A] It increases the production of antibiotics
[B] It increases the production of W.B.C.
[C] It increases the production of anti-serum against bacteria
[D] It prevents the growth of bacteria
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [It increases the production of antibiotics]
Notes:
Vaccines containing antigens are introduced into the body, stimulating the immune system response by instructing B cells, with assistance from T cells, to produce antibodies. Antibodies are produced to fight the weakened or dead viruses in the vaccine. The immune system prepares to destroy real and stronger viruses in the future. When new antigens enter the body, white blood cells called macrophages engulf them; process the information contained in the antigens, and send it to the T cells to mobilise immune system. Hence, introduction of antigens in any form in body induces the production of antibodies to boost immunity.
39. Which of the following is not true about Gymnosperms?
[A] Spores are heterospores
[B] Dominant phase is saprophytes
[C] Vascular bundles are absent
[D] Flowers are absent
Show Answer
Correct Answer: A [Spores are heterospores]
Notes:
The vascular tissue system consists of the complex tissues, xylem and phloem, which constitute discrete conducting strands called vascular bundles. Gymnosperms are the vascular plants where seeds are not enclosed within an ovary (opposite to an angiosperm or flowering plants where seeds are enclosed by mature ovaries or fruits). Collateral vascular bundle is the most common type of vascular bundle in the stems and leaves of angiosperms and gymnosperms. Here xylem and phloem remain side by side arranged on the same radius.
40. Which of the following is not among the three main classes of Algae?
[A] Chlorophyceae
[B] Rhodophyceae
[C] Phaeophyceae
[D] Gymnosperms
Show Answer
Correct Answer: D [Gymnosperms ]
Notes:
Algae are classified into three main classes – Chlorophyceae (Green algae), Phaeophyceae (Brown algae), and Rhodophyceae (Red algae). These divisions are based on major photosynthetic pigments present, form of stored food, cell wall composition and number of flagella and position of insertion.
