Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
1. Vaccines reduce risks of getting a disease by working with body’s natural defenses to build protection.
2. Vaccines can be formed using a dead or alive germ as well as a part of the germ.
3. The Haemophilusinfluenzae type b (Hib) vaccine is an mRNA vaccine.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?Correct
Answer: B
Explanation:
• Statement 1 is correct:Vaccination is a simple, safe, and effective way of protecting you against harmful diseases, before you come into contact with them. It uses your body’s natural defenses to build resistance to specific infections and makes your immune system stronger. Vaccines train your immune system to create antibodies, just as it does when it’s exposed to a disease.
• Statement 2 is correct:There are many types of vaccines, including:
o Inactivated vaccines: Use a killed version of the germ
o Live-attenuated vaccines: Use a weakened form of the live germ
o Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines: a new type of vaccine that uses a molecule to trigger an immune response
o Conjugate vaccines: A type of vaccine that combines a weak antigen with a strong antigen to create a stronger immune response
o Toxoid vaccines: a type of vaccine that use inactivated bacterial toxins to protect against disease
o Viral vector vaccines: a vaccine that uses a virus to deliver genetic material to the body’s cells
• Statement 3 is incorrect: A conjugate vaccine is a type of vaccine that combines a weak antigen with a strong antigen to create a stronger immune response. Some examples of conjugate vaccines include:Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCV) and Haemophilusinfluenzae type b conjugate vaccine : The Haemophilusinfluenzae type b (Hib) vaccine is a polysaccharide conjugate vaccine, which is a type of inactivated bacterial vaccine.Incorrect

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statement 1is correct: The IAEA was created in 1957 in response to the deep fears and expectations generated by the discoveries and diverse uses of nuclear technology. The Agency’s genesis was U.S. President Eisenhower’s “Atoms for Peace” address to the General Assembly of the United Nations on 8 December 1953. The U.S. Ratification of the Statute by President Eisenhower, 29 July 1957, marks the official birth of the International Atomic Energy Agency.
- Statement 2 isincorrect: No, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is not a party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). However, the IAEA has important roles and responsibilities under the NPT. Under the NPT, the IAEA has specific roles as the international safeguards inspectorate and as a multilateral channel for transferring peaceful applications of nuclear technology.
- Statement 3 is correct:The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) verifies nuclear-weapon-free zones and verifies ex-nuclear weapon material. The IAEA verifies nuclear-weapon-free zones through treaties such as the Treaty on the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone (1995), the African Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone Treaty (1996), and the Treaty on a Nuclear-Weapon-Free Zone in Central Asia (2006). The IAEA verifies ex-nuclear weapon material as part of its role in nuclear verification.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements:
Statement-I:
The spread of cancer cells from the place where they first formed to another part of the body is called Metastasis.
Statement-II
If breast cancer spreads to the lung, it leads to the formation of a new cancer along with new lung cancer cells.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
- Statements I is correct while Statement-II is incorrect: Metastasis is defined as the spread of cancer cells from the place where they first formed to another part of the body. In metastasis, cancer cells break away from the original (primary) tumor, travel through the blood or lymph system, and form a new tumor in other organs or tissues of the body. The new, metastatic tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the lung, the cancer cells in the lung are breast cancer cells, not lung cancer cells. Many cancer deaths are caused when cancer moves from the original tumor and spreads to other tissues and organs. Metastatic cancer is usually not curable, but treatment can help slow tumor growth and ease symptoms. A recent Indian study reveals that cancer cells seem to adapt their migratory pattern depending on the physical and biochemical characteristics of their surroundings, called the microenvironment.
