Question 1
1 / -0

Which of the following applications of biology helps to prevent the disease?

A
Monoclonal antibodies

B
Vaccines

C
Biofertilizers

D
Both A and B

Solution

Monoclonal antibodies are specific antibodies are produced by the same type of memory B cells against the disease-causing pathogenic agent. These antibodies act against the specific agent and provide immunity against the disease. The bacteria can be modified to produce a huge amount of antibodies that can be used for vaccination. Vaccines contain antigens or antibodies which stimulate the immune system to provide immunity.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.

- Immunisation is the process of prior activation of the immune system by the specific antigen to produce the desired antibody in response to it.
- The plasma cells are memory cells that help the immune system to revert back.
So, the correct answer is option D.

1 / -0

What is the main difference between communicable and non-communicable diseases?

A
Non-communicable diseases can be treated whereas, communicable diseases cannot be treated.

A
T-cells

B
B-cells

C

D
All of the above

Solution

Immunisation is the process of prior activation of the immune system by the specific antigen to produce the desired antibody in response to it. The plasma cells are memory cells which helps the immune system to revert back.
So, the correct answer is option D. Memory B cells and memory T cells are responsible for a swift response to second encounter with a foreign molecule. Passive immunization is the direct introduction of these elements into the body, instead of production of these elements by the body itself.
