Reproductive Health Mock Test – Class 12 Biology

1. Even when medically indicated termination can protect maternal health, public discussion about legal termination of pregnancy may remain emotionally, ethically, religiously and socially contentious. This observation shows that:

2. Study the following legal-context relationships.

The relationship that is inconsistent with the stated reproductive-health framework is:

3. Four pregnancies are presented.

Which case differs fundamentally from the others in reproductive-health justification?

4. A reproductive-health campaign uses school discussions, family counselling, print material and community organisations rather than relying on a single communication source. The main advantage of this approach is that it:

5. A pregnancy has lasted , and a medically recognised ground for termination is present. Under the stated gestational rule, the opinion required is that of:

6. Arrange the following possible family-building pathway when infertility remains unresolved.
P. Diagnose infertility.
Q. Attempt direct correction where feasible.
R. Consider suitable ART if correction is inadequate.
S. Consider legal adoption if biological treatment is not pursued or does not achieve parenthood.

7. Study the following responses to early genital symptoms.

The response most consistent with early reproductive-health management is:

8. Assertion: A decline in maternal and infant mortality can be both a reproductive-health success and a contributor to population growth.
Reason: Improved survival reduces population losses, and continuing reproduction can therefore produce a larger net increase.

9. Study the following classifications of infertility-related factors.

The row that requires correction is:

10. In vitro fertilisation refers to:

11. Match each sex-education topic with the immediate educational purpose it most directly serves. A Column II entry is used once.

12. Assertion: IVF can be followed by more than one type of embryo-transfer route.
Reason: The appropriate transfer site depends partly on the developmental stage of the embryo.

13. Four contraceptive procedures are described.

Which conclusion best follows?

14. Evaluate the following possible consequences of delayed or untreated STIs.
I. Pelvic inflammatory disease
II. Ectopic pregnancy
III. Infertility
IV. Cancer of the reproductive tract

15. Assertion: Hepatitis-B and HIV infection are included among sexually transmitted infections.
Reason: Both may also be transmitted by infected blood or contaminated needles.

16. Study the IUD mechanism matrix.

Which conclusion best follows from the matrix?

17. A couple attempts to use withdrawal, but the penis is withdrawn only after ejaculation has begun inside the vagina. The contraceptive protection is reduced mainly because:

18. Assertion: A method that substantially disrupts the sexual act may be considered less ideal even if it prevents pregnancy effectively.
Reason: An ideal contraceptive should be effective and reversible.

19. A couple is evaluated for infertility. The male partner has a very low sperm count, but semen containing usable sperm can be collected. The reproductive problem most directly supports consideration of:

20. In a community, fear of social judgement causes many people with possible STI symptoms to postpone medical consultation. If this behaviour persists, the most likely reproductive-health consequence is:

21. Artificial insemination into the vagina and IUI differ mainly in:

22. Two populations have the same annual percentage growth rate but very different total population sizes. Which conclusion is valid?

23. Which classification correctly separates causes, biological interventions and non-biological routes to parenthood?

24. Study the historical Indian population record.

The strongest conclusion supported directly by the table is:

25. A country achieves major reductions in maternal, infant and general death rates through better health care. Fertility remains high and contraceptive uptake changes little. Which population-level response best preserves the health gains while addressing the resulting demographic challenge?

26. Consider the following statements about reproductive health.
I. Physical well-being is one component of reproductive health.
II. Emotional, behavioural and social well-being are also relevant.
III. Normal reproductive organs alone are sufficient to establish complete reproductive health.
IV. Reproductive health extends beyond the capacity to reproduce.

27. A couple's reproductive journey can be summarised as:
P. Diagnosis identifies infertility.
Q. Corrective treatment is unsuccessful.
R. A suitable ART is attempted but does not result in parenthood.
S. The couple later becomes parents through legal adoption.
Which conclusion best integrates the sequence?

28. Consider the following statements about Saheli.
I. It is a non-steroidal oral contraceptive.
II. It is taken once a week.
III. It is described as having very few side effects and high contraceptive value.
IV. It follows the same daily schedule as conventional progestogen-containing pills.

29. During counselling, a woman receives semen directly into her uterus. Fertilisation later occurs within her reproductive tract. Which feature excludes IVF from the description of the fertilisation event?

30. Consider the following statements about curability of the named STIs.
I. Gonorrhoea can be completely cured when detected early and treated properly.
II. Syphilis can be completely cured when detected early and treated properly.
III. Genital herpes belongs to the stated exception group.
IV. HIV infection is completely curable whenever detected early.

31. Pair each contraceptive profile with the description that best identifies it. A Column II entry is used once.

32. One woman using an IUD asks why continued ovulation does not mean that the contraceptive has failed. Which explanation is most appropriate?

33. A reproductive-health centre has good buildings, adequate equipment and trained staff, but it continues to use outdated methods and has no mechanism for incorporating relevant research findings into its services. The most useful programme-level improvement would be to:

34. For contraceptive planning, a woman wants a reusable female barrier contraceptive. She also wants to increase its effectiveness with a spermicidal preparation. Which property distinguishes the appropriate method from a female condom?

35. Evaluate the following statements about lactational amenorrhea.
I. It is associated with absence of menstruation and ovulation during intense lactation.
II. It represents a temporary reproductive condition rather than permanent infertility.
III. Full breastfeeding and postpartum timing are important conditions.
IV. Its stated contraceptive reliability can be assumed indefinitely while any breastfeeding continues.

36. A couple is told that their baby was conceived through a test-tube baby programme. They assume the embryo and fetus developed entirely outside the mother's body. The most accurate correction is:

37. Assertion: IUI is a form of artificial insemination.
Reason: IUI introduces semen directly into the uterus rather than transferring an embryo or ovum.

38. An IVF embryo is initially at the -blastomere stage and later develops to blastomeres before transfer. Under the stage-site distinction, this change most directly shifts the appropriate route from:

39. Consider the following demographic changes:
I. Reduction in death rate
II. Reduction in infant mortality rate
III. Increase in the reproductive-age population
IV. Persistent rise in death rate with reduced survival
The change that does not fit the demographic explanation for rapid population growth is:

40. Which pathway contains a category error?

41. The following events occur during a period of health-sector improvement:
P. Medical facilities and living conditions improve.
Q. Death rates decline.
R. A greater proportion of people survive.
S. Population size increases when births remain sufficiently high.
The most defensible causal sequence is:

42. A couple chooses contraception by applying the following decision pathway:
P. Future pregnancy definitely desired → avoid terminal sterilisation.
Q. Long-term spacing desired → consider a reversible longer-acting method.
R. STI protection also required → add or select an appropriate barrier method.
Which conclusion best follows from the pathway?

43. During contraceptive use, a woman is postpartum, fully breastfeeding and has not resumed menstruation. One month later, menstruation returns even though breastfeeding continues. The most appropriate interpretation is:

44. CuT is unavailable at a clinic, but a user wishes to remain within the same copper-releasing IUD class rather than change to a non-medicated or hormone-releasing device. Which replacement preserves that class?

45. A student argues that because hepatitis-B, genital herpes and HIV infection are not placed in the completely-curable group, no sexually transmitted infection can be cured completely. The best correction is:

46. Assertion: Introducing adolescents to accurate information about reproductive organs, adolescence, STIs and safe practices promotes unsafe sexual behaviour.
Reason: Appropriate sex education can reduce myths and misconceptions and support informed, hygienic and safer practices.

47. Which relationship most accurately distinguishes two facts about Saheli?

48. Four postpartum women are compared at after delivery.

Who most closely satisfies the stated conditions for lactational amenorrhea?

49. Two medically indicated pregnancies are compared under otherwise similar conditions. Pregnancy P is terminated at , while Pregnancy Q is terminated during the second trimester. The expected safety comparison is:

50. A population graph has time on the x-axis and population size on the y-axis. During Period P, death rate and infant mortality decline markedly while birth rate remains high, and the population curve becomes steeper. During Period Q, contraceptive use and small-family preference increase while survival remains good, and the curve begins to flatten. The best interpretation is:
