Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

(1) Chlamydiasis

Chlamydiasis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis. It can affect both men and women and is one of the most common STDs.

(2) Filariasis

Filariasis is a disease caused by parasitic worms called filarial worms. It is transmitted through mosquito bites and is not a sexually transmitted disease. Filariasis can lead to conditions such as elephantiasis.

(3) Genital herpes

Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It can cause painful sores and blisters on or around the genitals.

(4) Trichomoniasis

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the protozoan parasite Trichomonas vaginalis. It can affect both men and women and often causes symptoms such as itching and discharge.

Conclusion

Based on the explanations above, the disease that is not sexually transmitted is:

• (2) Filariasis

Therefore, the correct answer is (2) Filariasis.

Answer 2

(1) They are considered safe during the first trimester.

This statement is correct. Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) is generally considered safe when performed during the first trimester (up to 12 weeks of pregnancy).

(2) It is legalized in India from 1971.

This statement is correct. MTP was legalized in India with the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act in 1971.

(3) MTP can be performed even after 24 weeks, but with the opinion of 2 registered medical practitioners on specific grounds.

This statement is correct. According to the Medical Termination of Pregnancy Act in India, MTP can be performed after 24 weeks with the opinion of two registered medical practitioners on specific grounds, such as severe fetal abnormalities or risks to the woman's life.

(4) About 20% of the total number of conceived pregnancies undergo MTP in a year globally.

This statement is incorrect. The global rate of MTP varies significantly by region and country, and it is not accurate to state that about 20% of all pregnancies globally undergo MTP. The actual rates are influenced by various factors, including access to healthcare, cultural attitudes, and legal restrictions.

Conclusion

The incorrect statement is (4) About 20% of the total number of conceived pregnancies undergo MTP in a year globally.

Answer 3

(A) ZIFT involves transferring fertilized egg (up to 8 blastomeres) into the fallopian tube.(B) ICSI involves injecting sperm directly into the ovum in vitro.(C) IUI refers to the artificial insemination of sperm into the uterus.(D) IUT involves transferring embryos with more than 8 blastomeres into the uterus.

Answer 4

Explanation:

(1) IUDs 

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are a form of contraception that is specifically meant for females. They are inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy.

(2) Lactational amenorrhea

Lactational amenorrhea is a natural form of contraception that occurs in females. It refers to the temporary cessation of menstruation due to breastfeeding, which can prevent ovulation and pregnancy.

(3) Vasectomy

Vasectomy is a surgical procedure that involves cutting or sealing the vas deferens in males to prevent sperm from entering the ejaculate. This method of contraception is specifically meant for males.

(4) Condoms

Condoms are a barrier method of contraception that can be used by both males and females. They prevent pregnancy by blocking the transfer of sperm during sexual intercourse.

Conclusion

The method of contraception that is not meant for females is (3) Vasectomy.

Conclusion

The correct answer is (3) CDRI, as Saheli was developed by Dr. Nitya Anand at the Central Drug Research Institute[^9^][^10^][^18^][^19^][^20^][^23^].
