Question

In a famous study, women were asked to smell and rate the attractiveness of axillary odours on t-shirts worn by different men. Results showed that ovulating women preferred the odour of the t-shirts worn by MHC (major histocompatibility complex) dissimilar men. This indicates that dissimilarity in MHC may play a role in mate selection. 15 18 The advantage conferred on offspring resulting from the mating of two individuals with differing MHC genotypes is that 21 the rate of phagocytosis during opsonization would be increased. the secondary immune response would occur with greater intensity. the innate immunity would be greater against a larger number of pathogens. the immune response would be greater against a larger number of pathogens the secondary immune response would occur more rapidly 24 27 30 tion 30 Saved

Explanation / Answer

1. Individuals with a with two different MHC genotype would recognize wider number of of pathogens and hence, immune system of children would be able to recognize wide range of pathogen and thus they have better immune system than their parents. Hence, option d is correct.

2. Fungus classification is done on the basis of reproduction. Hence, option C would be used to assign the genus sporothrix .
