Question

Deficiency of iodine causes scurvy.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Deficiency of Iodine causes goiter. A normal thyroid gland is usually not felt if finger pressure is applied to the neck. But when a person suffers from goitre, the thyroid gland gets enlarged and can be felt by applying slight pressure using the fingers on the bulge. Scurvy is caused by the deficiency of vitamin C.
