A. Decrease viscosity of mucus secretion
B. Deficiency of pancreatic digestive enzymes
C. Decreased bicarbonate secretion
D. Poor digestion of nutrients
E. Lipase deficiency causes Fat soluble vit. Deficiency
Answer: A. Decrease viscosity of mucus secretion
Infact, in cystic fibrosis decreased function of exocrine glands disturb GI tract and pulmonary system.
GI problem include increased viscosity of mucus secretion.
Poor digestion of protein and fats, Vitamin B12 and zinc deficiency.
Insulin deficiency and glucose tolerance occurs in older children resulting in cystic fibrosis related diabetes mellitus.
02. Through what pathway is acetaminophen metabolised in neonates and infants?
A. Glucoronidation
B. Sulfation
C. Methylation
D. Hydroxylation
Answer: B. Sulfation
In neonates and infants, the Sulfation pathway is most active at birth, glucoronidation is least active pathway, acetaminophen is not metabolised via methylation or Hydroxylation.
03. At increased temperature, DNA is driven towards the single stranded state as the hydrogen bond between complimentary base pairs are broken, process called?
A. Denaturation
B. Annealing
C. Hybridisation
D. Oligonucleotides
E. Polymorphism
Answer: A. Denaturation (Denaturation of proteins is irreversible but nucleic acids is reversible)
At lower temperature and physiological ion levels, solution of nucleic acid form hydrogen bonded complimentary base pairs.
04. Any combination of DNA and RNA segments through base pairing will form DNA-DNA and DNA-RNA hybrids, this process is called?
A. Denaturation
B. Annealing
C. Polymorphism
D. Oligonucleotides
Answer: B. Annealing or hybridisation
05. Technology is available to chemically synthesise short segments of DNA or RNA called?
A. Denaturation
B. Annealing
C. Polymorphism
D. Oligonucleotides
Answer: D. Oligonucleotides
Single stranded and approximately 20 nucleotide in length.
06. Two new nuclear membranes form and the cytoplasm is devided in half by following process?
A. Prophase
B. Metaphase
C. Anaphase
D. Telophase
E. Cytokineses
Answer: E. Cytokinesis
07. What of the following statements about ddNTPs in DNA sequencing is wrong?
A. Chain termination
B. Prevent continued strand synthesis
C. Four bases are labelled with fluorescent marker
D. Synthesis of DNA that vary in length
E. Base specific fluorescent tag at 3' terminus
F. None of these
Answer: F. None of these
Analysis of fluorescence as a function of length allows determination of the DNA sequence of template.

D. A & B
E. All of the above
Answer: E. All of the above
If the levels of serum methylmalonic acid and homocysteine are elevated then there is deficiency of B12.
09. Pernicious anemia originate because of the lack of following?
A. Serum methylmalonic acid
B. Homocysteine
C. Intrinsic factor
D. Alcoholism
Answer: C. Intrinsic factor (needed to absorb the Vitamin B12 in the Gut)

A. Vit. A
B. Vit. B1
C. Vit. B2
D. Vit. C
E. Vit. B12
Answer: B. Vit. B1 (thiamine deficiency causes beriberi)

D. A & B
E. All of these
Answer: D. A & B
Low Vit. K: potentiate the effect of warfarin leading to supra therapeutic anticoagulation
High vit. K: antagonise the effect of warfarin leading to sub therapeutics anticoagulation

A. Ergocalciferol
B. Cholecalciferol
D. Vitamin D
D. A & B
E. All of the above

15. Following statements about use of Vitamin D is incorrect?
A. In bone formation
B. Serum calcium regulation
C. GI Calcium absorption
D. Improve muscle strength and coordination
E. High dose causes Hypocalcemia
Answer: E. high doses cause Hypocalcemia
