Sample questions on Reproductive Health with answers
8 questions from the practice bank, spread across the chapter's topics. The full set is in the app.
Question 2: Birth Control Methods
Oral contraceptive pills primarily prevent pregnancy by:
- A killing sperm on contact
- B inhibiting ovulation through hormonal action
- C blocking the fallopian tubes permanently
- D preventing implantation only
Answer: B. inhibiting ovulation through hormonal action
Why: Combined oral contraceptives contain synthetic estrogen and progestogen that suppress the LH surge, thereby inhibiting ovulation.
Question 3: Contraceptive Methods
To avoid unwanted pregnancy, a female uses pills which prevent:
- A menstruation only
- B fertilisation in the ovary
- C the production of sperm
- D ovulation and implantation, and alter the quality of cervical mucus
Answer: D. ovulation and implantation, and alter the quality of cervical mucus
Why: They are taken for 21 days, with a gap of 7 days.
Question 4: Infertility and Assisted Reproductive Technology
In the ZIFT procedure for assisted reproduction, the zygote formed in vitro is transferred into the:
- A uterus directly
- B fallopian tube
- C vagina
- D ovary
Answer: B. fallopian tube
Why: Zygote intrafallopian transfer (ZIFT) places the early embryo into the fallopian tube, from where it travels naturally to the uterus for implantation.
Question 5: Sexually Transmitted Infections
Which of the following STIs can be cured completely if detected early?
- A hepatitis-B
- B genital herpes
- C gonorrhoea, syphilis and chlamydiasis
- D HIV infection
Answer: C. gonorrhoea, syphilis and chlamydiasis
Why: The viral infections cannot be fully cured.
Question 6: Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)
In vitro fertilization (IVF) involves fertilization of the ovum:
- A inside the fallopian tube
- B outside the body, in a laboratory setting
- C inside the uterus directly
- D within the ovary itself
Answer: B. outside the body, in a laboratory setting
Why: IVF involves fertilizing the ovum with sperm outside the body (in vitro, "in glass") before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus.
Question 7: Birth Control Methods
Amniocentesis is misused for sex determination, which is why it is banned for this purpose. It is otherwise used to test for:
- A STIs in the father
- B chromosomal and genetic disorders in the foetus
- C blood groups in the mother
- D pregnancy in the first week
Answer: B. chromosomal and genetic disorders in the foetus
Why: Fluid surrounding the foetus is sampled and its cells analysed.
Question 8: Contraceptive Methods
The surgical contraceptive method for males is:
- A hysterectomy
- B tubectomy
- C vasectomy, in which a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied
- D caesarean section
Answer: C. vasectomy, in which a small part of the vas deferens is removed or tied
Why: Tubectomy is the corresponding method in females.
