This set of Class 12 Biology Chapter 4 Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Reproductive Health – Injectable Contraceptives and Implants”.
1. What contraceptives are placed under the skin?
a) Implants
b) Condoms
c) Pills
d) Intrauterine methods
View Answer

2. Rape cannot result in pregnancy.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Rape is an unethical but a sexual act. It is coitus, and if the female is in or near the ovulatory phase, rape can result in fertilization of egg and thus pregnancy.
3. What contraceptive cannot be used after unprotected intercourse?
a) Condoms
b) Implants
c) Pills
d) Injections
View Answer
Explanation: Condoms are aimed at preventing the mixing of vaginal and seminal fluids. They will not prevent pregnancy after intercourse. Pills, implants, and injections can do the job.
4. What are the two hormones that can be used to prevent pregnancy in the form of injections or implants?
a) Progesterone and Estrogen
b) Progesterone and Testosterone
c) Estrogen and Testosterone
d) Estrogen and Oxytocin
View Answer

5. Which of the following can serve as an emergency contraceptive?
a) Progestogen
b) Condoms
c) Spermicidal gels
d) Spermicidal lubes
View Answer

6. Progestogen and progestogen-estrogen combinations work only up to 72 hours after casual unprotected intercourse.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: Progestogen and progestogen-estrogen contraceptives work by preventing the release of egg or by inhibiting the entry of sperm into the fallopian tube or by preventing fertilization. Hence they should be administered within 72 hours of coitus. After 72 hours, the chances of egg being fertilized are very high.
