In each of the questions given below, there are two statements marked as Assertion
(A) and Reason (R). Mark your answer as per the codes provided below.

(a) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

(b) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.
(c) A is correct and R is wrong.
(d) A is wrong and R is correct.
(e) Both A and R are wrong.

7. Assertion: In lymphatic system, lymph is known as tissue fluid.

Reason: It comprises of plasma proteins, RBCs and WBCs.

8. Assertion: Aerobic animals are not truly aerobic.

Reason: They produce lactic acid anaerobically.

9. Assertion: Chloroplasts mostly occur in mesophyll cells along their walls inside the leaves.
Reason: The membrane system of chloroplast is responsible for trapping the light energy
and also for the synthesis of ATP and NADPH

25. Read the Passage and answer the following questions

Blood of human beings differ in certain aspects. Various types of grouping of blood has been
done. The ABO and Rh – are widely used all over the world.

ABO grouping is based on the presence or absence of two surface antigens (chemicals that can
induce immune response) on the RBCs namely A and B. Similarly, the plasma of different
individuals contain two natural antibodies (proteins produced in response to antigens). The
distribution of antigens and antibodies in the four groups of blood, A, B, AB and O are given in
Table.
From the above mentioned table it is evident that group ‘O’ blood can be donated to persons with
any other blood group and hence ‘O’ group individuals are called ‘universal donors’. Persons
with ‘AB’ group can accept blood from persons with AB as well as the other groups of blood.
Therefore, such persons are called ‘universal recipients’.
Another antigen, the Rh antigen similar to one present in Rhesus monkeys (hence Rh), is also
observed on the surface of RBCs of majority (nearly 80 per cent) of humans. Such individuals
are called Rh positive (Rh+ve) and those in whom this antigen is absent are called Rh negative
(Rh-ve). An Rh-ve person, if exposed to Rh+ve blood, will form specific antibodies against the
Rh antigens. Therefore, Rh group should also be matched before transfusions. A special case of
Rh incompatibility (mismatching) has been observed between the Rh-ve blood of a pregnant
mother with Rh+ve blood of the foetus. Rh antigens of the foetus do not get exposed to the Rh-
ve blood of the mother in the first pregnancy as the two bloods are well separated by the
placenta. However, during the delivery of the first child, there is a possibility of exposure of the
maternal blood to small amounts of the Rh+ve blood from the foetus. In such cases, the mother
starts preparing antibodies against Rh antigen in her blood. In case of her subsequent
pregnancies, the Rh antibodies from the mother (Rh-ve) can leak into the blood of the foetus
(Rh+ve) and destroy the foetal RBCs. This could be fatal to the foetus or could cause severe
anaemia and jaundice to the baby. This condition is called erythroblastosis foetalis. This can be
avoided by administering anti-Rh antibodies to the mother immediately after the delivery of the
first child.
1.) Identify the incorrect statement
Statement 1 – Antigens are chemicals that can induce immune response.
Statement 2 – Antibodies are proteins produced in response to antigens.
Statement 3 – Blood group ‘O’ individuals are called as ‘universal donors’.
Statement 4 – Antibodies are proteins produced by antigen.
a) Statement 1 and 2 are incorrect b) Statement 2 and 3 are incorrect
c) Only Statement 3 is incorrect d) All of the above are incorrect

2.) _________________ indicates presence of both antigen A and antigen B on RCBs.

a) Blood group A b) Blood group AB
c) Blood group B d) Blood group O

3) Enlist the names of different blood groups proposed by the ABO blood grouping system.

4) Give reason –why persons with O blood group are known as universal donors?

5) What is mean by erythroblastosis foetalis?
