Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which type of cell is fused with a tumour cell to produce a hybridoma cell?

  1. A. A red blood cell
  2. B. A lymphocyte
  3. C. A phagocyte
  4. D. A platelet
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — B. A lymphocyte
Lymphocytes produce specific antibodies and are fused with tumour cells to create hybridoma cells. The hybridoma cell combines the antibody-producing ability of the lymphocyte with the rapid, unlimited division of the tumour cell. Red blood cells, phagocytes, and platelets do not produce antibodies.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 2/3

A pregnancy test uses monoclonal antibodies to detect the hormone hCG. If the antibodies on the test strip are NOT complementary to hCG, which result would occur?

  1. A. The test would show a false positive result
  2. B. The test would show a positive result only if hCG is very concentrated
  3. C. The test would not produce a positive result even if hCG is present
  4. D. The test would react with all hormones present in urine
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — C. The test would not produce a positive result even if hCG is present
Monoclonal antibodies only bind to the specific antigen that is complementary to their binding site. If the antibodies are not complementary to hCG, they cannot bind to it, so no positive result would be produced even if hCG is present. This illustrates the high specificity that makes monoclonal antibodies so useful in diagnostic tests.

AQA GCSE Biology: Monoclonal antibodies and their uses FAQ

How many AQA GCSE Biology questions on Monoclonal antibodies and their uses are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Monoclonal antibodies and their uses for AQA GCSE Biology, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real AQA paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
Is Kramizo free for AQA GCSE students preparing for Biology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Monoclonal antibodies and their uses practice with other Biology topics or even switch to a totally different AQA subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Monoclonal antibodies and their uses questions aligned to the official AQA GCSE Biology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published AQA GCSE Biology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real AQA paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from AQA.
How is Monoclonal antibodies and their uses typically tested on AQA GCSE Biology papers?
Monoclonal antibodies and their uses appears across multiple question types on real AQA GCSE Biology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
