Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to thePuberty blockers recently seen in news:
- These are mimics of the sex hormones like Testosterone.
- They can be used to treat gender dysphoria and early onset puberty.
- The effects of puberty blockers are completely irreversible, allowing for gender re-assignment.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is incorrect:Puberty blockers are medications used to delay the physical changes associated with puberty. This is particularly relevant for transgender and gender-diverse teens experiencing gender dysphoria, a conflict between their assigned gender at birth and their identified gender.These drugs are prescribed to pause sex hormone production to alleviate the psychological stress and mental health threats caused by unwanted physical changes during puberty. These drugs are gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues, which inhibit the body’s production of sex hormones.
- Statement 2 is correct:Puberty blockers are relevant for transgender and gender-diverse teens experiencing gender dysphoria, a conflict between their assigned gender at birth and their identified gender. Besides gender dysphoria, puberty blockers are used to treat precocious puberty, where children experience early-onset puberty.
Statement 3 is incorrect:Typically, puberty blockers alone do not cause permanent changes. But this can vary depending on several factors, including any medical conditions a person has, when they start puberty blockers, how long they take this medication, and whether they also take gender affirming hormones. When a person stops taking puberty blockers, their body will resume puberty exactly as it would have if they had never taken the medication

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements with respect to CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora):
- CITES is legally binding on the Parties but it does not take the place of national laws.
- CITES has no application to domestic markets and wildlife trafficking occurring intra-state.
- Agarwood from India has recently been included in the Review of Significant Trade (RST) of the CITES.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
- Statement 1 is correct:CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) is an international agreement between governments. Its aim is to ensure that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten the survival of the species. CITES was drafted as a result of a resolution adopted in 1963 at a meeting of members of IUCN (The World Conservation Union). Although CITES is legally binding on the Parties, it does not take the place of national laws. Rather it provides a framework to be respected by each Party, which has to adopt its own domestic legislation to ensure that CITES is implemented at the national level.
- Statement 2 is correct:The Convention is a trade agreement and only applies to flora and fauna that is traded internationally. CITES has no application to domestic markets and wildlife trafficking occurring intra-state. This is left to the respective governments.
Statement 3 is incorrect:India has successfully prevented inclusion of Aquilariamalaccensis (agarwood) in the Review of Significant Trade (RST) of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The CITES also notified a new export quota of highly valuable and aromatic resinous wood and oil of Aquilariamalaccensis (agarwood) from India from April 2024.Aquilariamalaccensis was listed in Appendix II of CITES for the first time in 1995 based on India’s proposal at CoP9 in 1994. The removal of India from the RST for Aquilariamalaccensis was achieved based on a non-detriment findings (NDFs) study of the plant species by the Botanical Survey of India (BSI), Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC).
