Read the following statements and select the correct ones. (i) Vaccine is a preparation (or suspension ) of a dead/attenuated pathogen of a disease which on inoculation ( or injection ) into a healthy person, provides temporary/permanent active immunity by inducing antibodies formation. (ii) Immunisation is the process by which the body produces antibodies against the vaccine preventable diseases through administration of specific vaccines. (iii) The principle of immunisation or vaccination is based on the property of 'memory' of the immune system. iv) If a person is infected with some deadly microbes to which quick immune response is required; in that case, we need to directly inject the performed antibodies or antitoxins e.g., in case of tetanus.

Read the following statements regarding the various techniques used in cancer detection. (i) Cancer detection is based on biopsy and histopathological studies of the tissue, and blood and bone marrow tests for increased cell counts in case of leukaemia. (ii) In biopsy, a piece of the suspected tissue cut into thin sections is stained and examined under microscope by a pathologist. (iii) Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) are very useful to detect cancers of the internal organs. (iv) Computed tomography uses strong magnetic fileds and non-ionising radiations to detect physiological changes in living tissues. (v) MRI uses X-rays and ionising radiation to generate a 3-D image of the internal structure of an object. Which of the above statements are incorrect ?
