Question 21. A sexually transmitted disease which develops symptoms like chancre on the genitals is caused by the infection of ___.
 
  1.    Treponema pallidum
  2.    Neisseria gonorrhoeae
  3.    Human immune deficiency virus
  4.    Hepatitis B virus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Treponema pallidum
:
A
Treponema pallidum causes syphilis. Syphilis develops in four stages, each with a different set of symptoms. During the primary stage of syphilis, a sore (chancre) that is usually painless develops at the site where the bacteria entered the body.
Question 22. GIFT is ___.
  1.    Embryo implantation after in vivo fertilization
  2.    Placing the gametes in the fallopian tube
  3.    Embryo implantation after in vitro fertilization
  4.    Egg extraction for in vitro fertilization
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Placing the gametes in the fallopian tube
:
B
In GIFT, the sperm and eggs are just mixed together before being inserted and one of the eggs will become fertilized inside the fallopian tubes.This procedure involves stimulating the ovaries to produce more than one egg per cycle, like in IVF. These eggs are harvested and then placed in the fallopian tube of the mother along with the sperm collected from the father. Normal fertilization takes place, and the natural order of events in pregnancy follow.
Question 23. The bacterium, Neisseria gonorrhoeae  is ___.
  1.    Spiral-shaped
  2.    Vibrio
  3.    Bacillus
  4.    Diplococcus
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Diplococcus
:
D
Neisseria gonorrhoeae, also known as gonococci (plural), or gonococcus (singular), is a species of Gram-negative coffee bean-shaped diplococci bacteria responsible for the sexually transmitted infection gonorrhea.
Question 24. Which one of the following is a sexually transmitted disease?
 
  1.    Cancer
  2.    Herpes
  3.    Diphtheria
  4.    Myocarditis
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Herpes
:
B
Genital Herpes is an STD. Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. Herpes iscaused by HSV (Herpes simplex virus). This virus affects the genitals, the cervix, and skin.
Cancer is a non-infectious disease.

Myocarditis is a disease marked by inflammation and damage of the heart muscle. There are many causes of myocarditis, including viral infections, autoimmune diseases, environmental toxins, and adverse reactions to medications.
Diphtheria isan infectioncaused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae, and is not an STD.
Question 25. Which STD is responsible for burning micturition, along with purulent discharge from the genitals and painful external genitalia?
  1.    Gonorrhea
  2.    Genital Warts
  3.    Chlamydia
  4.    Syphilis
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Gonorrhea
:
A
Gonorrhea is caused by a bacterium called Neisseria, spreading through sexual contact, unclean public toilets as well as underwear. It often affects the fallopian tubes and cervix in women as well as the urethra in both sexes. Common complaints are burning micturition, along with purulent discharge from the genitals, and painful external genitalia. Other common sites of infection are the pharynx and the eyes. Spread from mother to child is also possible during delivery.
Question 26. Which of the following disease is sexually transmitted?
  1.    Gonorrhoea
  2.    Syphilis
  3.    AIDS
  4.    All the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> All the above
:
D
Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are caused by infections that are passed from one person to another through sexual contact. Some examples of sexually transmitted diseases are gonorrhoea, Syphilis, AIDS.
Question 27. In ___, the egg is first fertilised outside the body and then it is inserted into the oviduct.
  1.    GIFT
  2.    ZIFT
  3.    ICSI
  4.    IVF
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> ZIFT
:
B
In ZIFT (zygote intrafallopian transfer), the egg is first fertilised outside the body and then it is inserted into the oviduct (fallopian tube).
Question 28. Oral contraceptive pill helps birth control by
  1.    Preventing ovulation
  2.    Killing the sperms
  3.    Forming barriers between sperms-ova
  4.    Killing the ova
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Preventing ovulation
:
A
Oral contraceptives (birth control pills) are medications that prevent pregnancy. They are one method of birth control. Oral contraceptives are hormonal preparations that may contain combinations of the hormones estrogen and progestin or progestin alone. Combinations of estrogen and progestin work by preventing ovulation (the release of eggs from the ovaries).
Question 29. Which of the following is a technique of direct introduction of gametes into the fallopian tube?
  1.    ZIFT
  2.    IVF
  3.    GIFT
  4.    MTP
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> GIFT
:
C
The technique of direct introduction of gametes in to the fallopian tube is GIFT. Eggs are removed from a woman's ovaries, and placed in one of the fallopian tubes, along with the man's sperm.
The following are the expansions of the acronymns.
In vitro fertilization (IVF),
ZIFT ( zygote intrafallopian transfer ), MTP (medical termination of pregnancy).
Question 30. Which of the following cannot be considered as assisted reproductive technology?
  1.    In vitro fertilization (IVF)
  2.    Medical termination of pregnancy (MTP)
  3.    Gamete intra – fallopian transfer (GIFT)
  4.    Intra – cytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Medical termination of pregnancy (MTP)
:
B
MTP cannot be considered as Assisted reproductive technology. It also called induced abortion. It is the medical way of getting rid of unwanted pregnancy. Assisted reproductive technology is the technology used to achieve pregnancy in procedures such as fertility medication, in vitro fertilization and surrogacy.
