Biology Questions

As an infant, the ability to produce antibodies is limited.

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes.

• If you have type 1 diabetes your body does not release insulin.

• If you have type 2 diabetes your body does not use insulin properly.

We know that the circulatory system of our body is a loop. The Heart is the pump, the arteries and their smaller branches (arterioles) carry oxygen rich blood all through your body tissues from the heart and the veins and their smaller branches (venules) carry oxygen depleted blood and waste products back to the heart from all the body parts.

Salts and sugars work to preserve foods by creating a Hypertonic environment.

Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulumdoes not contain ribosomes on its surface for which it is regarded as smooth. So, proteins cannotbe synthesised by SER provided protein synthesis is the primary task of ribosomes.

DNA is made of nucleotides. And these Nucleotides are made of a pentose sugar deoxyribose, a phosphate, and a nitrogen-containing bases.

Hence, the given statement 'Nucleotides are made of a pentose only' is FALSE.

A RNA copy of a DNA gene is called as messenger RNA or mRNA. mRna is used in translation because information is translated from one language (nucleotides) into another (amino acids).

Hence, mRNA is used to transfer genetic information by a cell.

Parvovirus B19 causes severe anemia because it preferentially infects erythrocyte precursors.

a. Parvovirus B19 binds preferentially to the erythrocyte blood group P antigen on erythroid precursor cells.

Answers B, C, D are incorrect:

b. after entry the single-stranded viral DNA genome is transported to the cell nucleus where the host DNA polymerase synthesizes the complimentary DNA strand.

c. Parvovirus B19 infection can be diagnosed by direct detection of viral DNA not RNA.

d. the fetus of a seropositive mother is protected from infection by maternal circulating antibodies.
