Question

(i)_______ will be present in a pregnancy kit and (ii)_________ will be present in the urine of a pregnant woman?

• A. Anti-HCG antibodies and HCG
• B. Anti-IgG antibody and IGg
• C. HCG and Anti-HCG antibody
• D. IGg and Anti-IgG antibody

Answer 1

The correct option is A Anti-HCG antibodies and HCG

HCG (Human chorionic gonadotrophin) is a hormone that is produced by placental cells that nourish the fertilized egg after it is attached to the uterine wall. A pregnancy kit helps to determine whether a woman is pregnant. The urine of a pregnant woman will have HCG present in it and the pregnancy kit will have antibodies specific to HCG. A colored reaction helps in detecting the presence of HCG confirming a positive pregnancy.
