Q1NEET 2021
Which one of the following is an example of Hormone releasing IUD ?
Not quite — the answer is B.
LNG-20 releases a progestogen (levonorgestrel), so it is a hormone-releasing IUD like Progestasert. CuT, Cu7 and Multiload 375 are copper-releasing IUDs.
Q2NEET 2021
Veneral diseases can spread through : (a) Using sterile needles (b) Transfusion of blood from infected person (c) Infected mother to foetus (d) Kissing (e) Inheritance Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Not quite — the answer is C.
Sexually transmitted infections can spread through transfusion of infected blood and from an infected mother to the foetus. Sterile needles carry no infection, and kissing and inheritance are not routes of spread, so only (b) and (c) apply.
Q3NEET 2021
Match List - I with List - II. List - I | List - II (a) Vaults | (i) Entry of sperm through Cervix is blocked (b) IUDs | (ii) Removal of Vas deferens (c) Vasectomy | (iii) Phagocytosis of sperms within the Uterus (d) Tubectomy | (iv) Removal of fallopian tube Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Not quite — the answer is B.
Vaults are barriers that block sperm entry through the cervix, IUDs increase phagocytosis of sperms in the uterus, vasectomy removes a part of the vas deferens, and tubectomy removes a part of the fallopian tube. Hence (a)-(i), (b)-(iii), (c)-(ii), (d)-(iv).
Q4NEET 2020 · Q5
In which of the following techniques, the embryos are transferred to assist those females who cannot conceive?
Not quite — the answer is A.
In ZIFT the zygote or early embryo (up to 8 blastomeres) is put into the fallopian tube, and in IUT an embryo with more than 8 blastomeres is put into the uterus, so both transfer embryos. GIFT transfers an ovum (gamete), and ICSI injects a sperm into the ovum in the laboratory, so they are not embryo transfers.
Q5NEET 2020 · Q51
Select the option including all sexually transmitted diseases.
Not quite — the answer is A.
Gonorrhoea, syphilis and genital herpes are all spread by sexual contact. Malaria and filariasis are spread by mosquitoes, and cancer is not an infectious disease, so the other groups each include a non-STD.
Q6NEET 2019 · Q150
Select the hormone-releasing Intra-Uterine Devices.
Not quite — the answer is C.
Progestasert and LNG-20 release progestogen into the uterus. Multiload 375 is a copper-releasing IUD, Lippes loop is non-medicated, and vaults are barrier devices.
Q7NEET 2018 · Q146
The contraceptive 'SAHELI'
Not quite — the answer is C.
Saheli (centchroman) is a once-a-week non-steroidal oral pill developed by CDRI Lucknow; it acts as an anti-estrogen at the uterus and prevents implantation. It is a pill, not an IUD, it does not raise estrogen levels, and it is taken regularly rather than as an emergency post-coital pill.
Q8NEET 2017 · Q106
The function of copper ions in copper releasing IUD's is:
Not quite — the answer is A.
Copper ions released by IUDs such as CuT suppress sperm motility and the fertilising capacity of sperms. Making the uterus unsuitable for implantation is the action of hormone-releasing IUDs, and stopping ovulation is the action of oral pills.
Q9NEET 2017 (Gujarati paper) · Q71
In Lactational amenorrhoea, ovulation does not occur during the period of intense lactation because of:
Not quite — the answer is C.
During intense breastfeeding, high prolactin suppresses GnRH and hence FSH and LH release, so follicles do not mature and ovulation does not occur. A surge of estrogen or high FSH and LH would instead promote ovulation.
Q10NEET 2017 (Gujarati paper) · Q109
Which one of the following is not an IUD?
Not quite — the answer is D.
Vaults are barrier contraceptives placed over the cervix by the female. Cu T and Multiload 375 are copper-releasing IUDs and Progestasert is a hormone-releasing IUD.
Q11NEET 2016 Phase 2 · Q159
Which of the following is hormone-releasing IUD?
Not quite — the answer is A.
LNG-20 releases levonorgestrel, a progestogen, so it is a hormone-releasing IUD. Multiload 375 and Cu7 are copper-releasing IUDs, and the Lippes loop is a non-medicated IUD.
Q12NEET 2016 Phase 2 · Q161
Embryo with more than 16 blastomeres formed due to in vitro fertilization is transferred into
Not quite — the answer is A.
In assisted reproduction the zygote or early embryo with up to 8 blastomeres is placed in the fallopian tube (ZIFT), while later embryos with more than 8 blastomeres are transferred into the uterus (IUT). An embryo of more than 16 cells therefore goes into the uterus.
Q13NEET 2016 Phase 1 · Q131
Which of the following approaches does not give the defined action of contraceptive?
Not quite — the answer is D.
Vasectomy cuts and ties the vasa deferentia, blocking sperm transport; spermatogenesis in the testes continues normally. The other pairs correctly state how barriers, IUDs and hormonal pills work.
Q14AIPMT 2015
Which of the following viruses is not transferred through semen of an infected male?
Not quite — the answer is D.
Chikungunya virus spreads through the bite of Aedes mosquitoes and is not passed on through semen. HIV and hepatitis B are sexually transmitted, and Ebola virus can persist in and spread through semen of survivors.
Q15AIPMT 2015
Hysterectomy is surgical removal of:
Not quite — the answer is B.
Hysterectomy is surgical removal of the uterus. Removing part of the vas deferens is vasectomy, and removal of the mammary gland is mastectomy.
Q16AIPMT 2015
Which of the following is not a sexually transmitted disease?
Not quite — the answer is A.
Encephalitis is inflammation of the brain, usually from mosquito-borne viruses, and is not sexually transmitted. Syphilis, AIDS and trichomoniasis are all sexually transmitted infections.
Q17AIPMT 2014
Tubectomy is a method of sterilization in which:
Not quite — the answer is D.
Tubectomy is female sterilisation in which a small part of the fallopian tube is removed or tied up through a small incision, blocking the passage of the ovum. Removal or tying of part of the vas deferens is vasectomy in males, and ovaries or uterus are not removed.
Q18AIPMT 2014
Which of the following is a hormone releasing Intra Uterine Device (IUD)?
Not quite — the answer is A.
LNG-20 releases the progestogen levonorgestrel, so it is a hormone-releasing IUD. Multiload 375 is a copper-releasing IUD, and the cervical cap and vault are barrier methods.
Q19NEET 2013
Which of the following cannot be detected in a developing foetus by amniocentesis?
Not quite — the answer is D.
Amniocentesis examines foetal cells in amniotic fluid to detect chromosomal abnormalities such as Down and Klinefelter syndromes and can reveal sex. Jaundice is a postnatal condition of bilirubin build-up and cannot be detected this way.
Q20NEET 2013
Artificial insemination means
Not quite — the answer is C.
In artificial insemination, semen from the husband or a healthy donor is introduced artificially into the female tract (vagina or uterus). Transferring sperm to ova in a test tube is in vitro fertilisation, and sperm are not placed into the ovary.
Q21AIPMT 2012 Prelims
The Test-tube Baby Programme employs which one of the following techniques ?
Not quite — the answer is A.
In the test-tube baby programme, ova are fertilised in vitro and the zygote or early embryo is transferred into the fallopian tube (ZIFT). GIFT transfers unfertilised gametes and IUI places semen in the uterus, so neither involves fertilisation in a test tube.
Q22AIPMT 2011 Mains
The technique called gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT) is recommended for those females
Not quite — the answer is C.
In GIFT an ovum collected from a donor is placed in the fallopian tube of a female who cannot produce ova but can provide the right environment for fertilisation and development. A female who cannot provide a suitable environment for fertilisation would not benefit, because fertilisation in GIFT takes place inside her own tube.
Q23AIPMT 2011 Prelims
Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) is considered safe up to how many weeks of pregnancy?
Not quite — the answer is C.
MTP is considered relatively safe during the first trimester, that is, up to 12 weeks of pregnancy. Second-trimester abortions are much riskier.
Q24AIPMT 2010 Prelims · Q153
Cu ions released from copper- releasing Intra Uterine Devices (IUDs)
Not quite — the answer is D.
Copper ions released by copper IUDs (CuT, Cu7, Multiload 375) suppress sperm motility and fertilising capacity. Making the uterus unsuitable for implantation is attributed to hormone-releasing IUDs, and increased phagocytosis of sperm is a general effect of IUDs, not of Cu ions specifically.
Q25AIPMT 2010 Prelims · Q167
In vitro fertilisation is a technique that involves transfer of which one of the following into the fallopian tube?
Not quite — the answer is C.
In ZIFT (zygote intra-fallopian transfer), the zygote or an early embryo of up to 8 blastomeres is placed in the fallopian tube. Embryos with more than 8 blastomeres are placed in the uterus instead (IUT), so the 32-cell option is wrong.
Q26AIPMT 2010 Prelims · Q168
The permissible use of the technique amniocentesis is for
Not quite — the answer is A.
Amniocentesis tests foetal cells in the amniotic fluid for chromosomal or genetic disorders. Using it to find the sex of the foetus is a misuse that leads to female foeticide, and it is banned by law in India.
Q27AIPMT 2008 Prelims · Q151
Given below are four methods (i - iv) and their modes of action (a - d) in achieving contraception. Select their correct matching from the four options that follow Method: (i) The pill (ii) Condom (iii) Vasectomy (iv) Copper T Mode of Action: (a) Prevents sperms reaching cervix (b) Prevents implantation (c) Prevents ovulation (d) Semen contains no sperms
Not quite — the answer is B.
Pills block ovulation (and implantation), a condom is a barrier that stops sperm reaching the cervix, vasectomy cuts the vas deferens so semen has no sperms, and Copper-T acts in the uterus against fertilisation and implantation. Matching a condom to 'semen contains no sperms' confuses a barrier with a surgical method.
Q28AIPMT 2008 Prelims · Q167
Consider the statements given below regarding contraception and answer as directed thereafter (a) Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) during first trimester is generally safe (b) Generally chances of conception are nil until mother breast-feeds the infant upto two years (c) Intrauterine devices like copper-T are effective contraceptives (d) Contraception pills may be taken upto one week after coitus to prevent conception Which two of the above statements are correct?
Not quite — the answer is D.
NCERT notes that MTP in the first trimester (up to 12 weeks) is relatively safe, and that IUDs like Copper-T are effective contraceptives. Lactational amenorrhoea is reliable only up to about six months after birth, and emergency pills must be taken within 72 hours, not a week.
Q29AIPMT 2007 Prelims · Q184
In the human female, menstruation can be deferred by the administration of
Not quite — the answer is B.
Menstruation follows the fall in progesterone and estrogen when the corpus luteum degenerates. Giving these two hormones keeps the endometrium intact and suppresses FSH/LH, which delays menstruation; this is also how combined oral pills work. FSH or LH would stimulate the ovary instead.
