2. control of a phenotype by three genes
3. masking of the effect of a gene by a non-allelic locus
4. producing a new character when two nonallelic genes happen together in an individual

Q. Which of the following is true for cellular immunity

1. Cellular immunity is provided by the T-cells
2. Cellular immunity is provided by the B-cell
3. Cellular immunity can act against antigens
4. Cellular immunity targets intracellular pathogen

Q. Which of the following cells are most effective in destroying intracellular pathogens

1. T-cells
2. B-cells
3. Antibodies

Q. The major difference between humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity is that:

1. humoral immunity is non-specific, whereas cell-mediated immunity is specific for particular antigens
2. humoral immunity cannot function independently; it is always activated by cell-mediated immunity
3. the agents of humoral immunity are carried in the bloodstream, whereas the cells of the latter are concentrated in lymph nodes
4. humoral immunity acts against free-floating antigens, whereas cell-mediated immunity works against pathogens that. have entered body cells

Q. Transplantation of tissues/organs often fails due to non-acceptance by the patient’s body. Which type of immune response is responsible for such rejections?

Q. What we mean by the term non - specific in case of innate immunity?

Q. Which of the following is true for cellular immunity

1. Cellular immunity is provided by the T-cells
2. Cellular immunity is provided by the B-cell
3. Cellular immunity can act against antigens
4. Cellular immunity targets intracellular pathogen
