Which of the following is not a natural/traditional contraceptive method?
Vaults are a barrier (artificial) contraceptive; the rest are natural methods.
Which of the following are Autoimmune disorders?
A. Myasthenia gravis B. Rheumatoid arthritis C. Gout D. Muscular dystrophy E. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Which of the following statements is incorrect?
Bioreactors are designed for large-scale production (typically 100–1000 L or more), not small-scale cultures.
Match List I with List II:
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| A. Non-medicated IUD | I. Multiload 375 |
| B. Copper releasing IUD | II. Progestogens |
| C. Hormone releasing IUD | III. Lippes loop |
| D. Implants | IV. LNG-20 |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Lippes loop — non-medicated; Multiload 375 — Cu IUD; LNG-20 — hormone IUD; Implants — progestogens.
Which one is the correct product of DNA dependent RNA polymerase to the given template? $3'\text{ TACATGGCAAATATCCATTCA }5'$
RNA is complementary and antiparallel to the template; T → A and the new strand uses U instead of T.
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The cerebral hemispheres are connected by nerve tract known as corpus callosum.
Statement II: The brain stem consists of the medulla oblongata, pons and cerebrum.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Brain stem = medulla + pons + midbrain (not cerebrum). Statement II is incorrect.
Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Gause's competitive exclusion principle states that two closely related species competing for different resources cannot exist indefinitely.
Statement II: According to Gause's principle, during competition the inferior will be eliminated. This may be true if resources are limiting.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Both reflect Gause's competitive exclusion concept as stated in NCERT.
Identify the correct option (A), (B), (C), (D) with respect to spermatogenesis. (Flow: GnRH → LH (left arm) → (B) → Androgens; GnRH → (A) (right arm) → (C) → Factors → (D) = Formation of spermatids.)
GnRH triggers LH and FSH (A). LH acts on Leydig (interstitial) cells (B) → androgens. FSH acts on Sertoli cells (C) → factors → spermiogenesis (D).
