BIL 150 Gaines Test 3 – 100% SOLVED QUESTIONS
An otherwise healthy student in BIL 150 is infected with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), the
double stranded DNA virus that causes infectious mononucleosis. The same student had
already been infected when she was a child, and she had merely experienced a mild sore
throat and swollen lymph nodes in her neck. This time, though infected, she does not get sick.
The EBV antigen fragments will be presented by the virus-infected cells along with which of
the following?
A. dendritic cells
B. antibodies
C. class I MHC molecules
D. class II MHC molecules
E. complement correct answers C. class I MHC molecules
Which of the following directing embryonic development can be found in the unfertilized
egg?
A. tissue-specific proteins
B. proteins in the organizer region
C. cytoplasmic determinants
D. mRNAs from embryonic genome
E. proteins in the dorsal lip of the blastopore correct answers C. cytoplasmic determinants
The extraordinary diversity of antibodies results in part from
A. The action of monoclonal antibodies
B. The splicing of protein molecules
C. The action of cytotoxic T cells
D. The rearrangement of genes
E. Their remarkable nonspecificity correct answers D. The rearrangement of genes

A. placenta
B. corpus luteum
C. follicle
D. Both A and B are correct
E. A, B and C correct answers E. A, B and C

during anaphase?
A. 4

Which statement best describes the difference in responses of effector B cells (plasma cells)
and cytotoxic T cells?
A. B cells secrete antibodies against a virus; cytotoxic T cells kill virus-infected cells.

response.

times. correct answers A. B cells secrete antibodies against a virus; cytotoxic T cells kill
virus-infected cells.
