  • Q1
    A student received a flu shot in the fall. During the flu season, the student caught a cold. The most likely reason the vaccine he received did not prevent the cold was that
    his illness was not caused by a pathogen
    he did not get the vaccine at the right time of year
    his body produced antibiotics in response to the vaccine
    the vaccine he received contained only flu virus antigens

  • Q2
    The immune system of humans may respond to chemicals on the surface of an invading organism by
    alternating a DNA sequence in these organisms
    secreting antibodies that attach to these organisms
    releasing hormones that break down these chemicals
    synthesizing antibodies that mark these organisms to be destroyed

  • Q3
    Vaccinations help prepare the body to fight invasions of a specific pathogen by
    stimulating red blood cell production
    inhibiting white blood cell production
    inhibiting antigen production
    stimulating antibody production

  • Q4
    Which transplant method would prevent the rejections of tissue after an organ transplant?
    using organs produced by genetic engineering to rid of all proteins in the donated organs
    using an organ donated by a close relative because the proteins will always be identical to those of the recipient
    using organs cloned from the cells of the patient
    using organs only from pigs or monkeys

  • Q5
    Which statement best describes what will most likely happen when an individual receives a vaccination containing a weakened pathogen?
    The ability to resist most types of diseases will increase.
    The ability to fight disease will increase due to antibodies received from the pathogen
    The ability to produce antibodies will decrease after the vaccination.

  • Q6
    The virus that causes bird flu can attach to the cells of the lower part of the respiratory system in humans, but not to the cells of the upper part of the respiratory system. The most likely reason for that these two groups of cells have different
    DNA codes in their nuclei
    enzymes in their mitochrondia
    receptor molecules on their membranes
    amounts of water in their cytoplasm

  • Q7
    Viruses frequently infect bacteria and insert new genes into the genetic material of the bacteria. When these infected bacteria reproduce asexually, which genes would most likely be passed on?
    neither the original nor the new genes
    only the original genes
    only the new genes
    both the original and the new genes

  • Q8
    To replace burned skin, doctors can successfully transplant replacement skin taken from another part of the body of the burn victim. Which statement best explains why the transplanted skin is not rejected?
    The antigens of the replacement skin are the same as those of the damaged skin
    The transplanted skin is damaged, making the immune system nonfunctional
    Burn victims lose so much blood that white blood cells cannot cause an immune response
    There is no blood supply to the skin, so mixing of antigens does not occur
    30s
  • Q9
    A vaccine used against an infectious disease may contain
    toxic enzymes
    a variety of antibiotics
    specialized blood cells
    weakened pathogens

  • Q10
    The diagram represents the process used in 1996 to clone the first mammal, a sheep named Dolly. Which statement concerning Dolly is correct
    The chromosome makeup of Dolly is identical to that of Sheep A
    Dolly contains genes from sheep B and sheep C
    Both Dolly and sheep C have identical DNA
    Gametes from sheep A and sheep B were united to produce Dolly

  • Q11
    What do macrophage do?
    makes memory cells
    makes B-cellls
    engulf and destroy cells
    makes antibodies
