Question

Match the following:  

A. Genital warts		I. Treponema
B. Genital herpes		II. HPV
C. Syphilis		III. Neisseria
D. Gonorrhoea		IV. HIV
		V. HSV

• A. \(A-II,\ B-V,\ C-I,\ D-III\)
• B. \(A-II,\ B-IV,\ C-III,\ D-I\)
• C. \(A-III,\ B-I,\ C-V,\ D-II\)
• D. \(A-II,\ B-V,\ C-III,\ D-IV\)

Hint:

Remember: HPV–Warts, HSV–Herpes, Treponema–Syphilis, Neisseria–Gonorrhoea.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through sexual contact. Each disease is associated with a specific causative organism. Knowledge of these associations is important in human health and reproductive biology.

Step 1: Identify the causative organism of Genital Warts. Genital warts are caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). HPV infects epithelial tissues and leads to wart formation in the genital region. Therefore, \[ A \rightarrow II \]

Step 2: Identify the causative organism of Genital Herpes. Genital herpes is caused by Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV), particularly HSV-2. Hence, \[ B \rightarrow V \]

Step 3: Identify the causative organism of Syphilis. Syphilis is caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Thus, \[ C \rightarrow I \]

Step 4: Identify the causative organism of Gonorrhoea. Gonorrhoea is caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Therefore, \[ D \rightarrow III \]

Step 5: Write the complete matching. \[ A-II,\quad B-V,\quad C-I,\quad D-III \] This corresponds to option (A).
