Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that is effective in treating hypertension and angina. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart, reducing chest pain and hypertension.

Choice B rationale

Digoxin is not typically used to treat hypertension. It is primarily used for heart failure and atrial fibrillation to increase the strength of heart muscle contractions and regulate heart rhythm.

Choice C rationale

Heparin is an anticoagulant used to prevent and treat blood clots. It does not directly treat hypertension or angina and is used for conditions like deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and during surgeries to prevent clot formation.

Choice D rationale

Captopril is an ACE inhibitor used to treat hypertension and heart failure. While it is effective for lowering blood pressure, it is not primarily used for treating angina compared to medications like nifedipine or other calcium channel blockers.

A. Proto-oncogenes, tumor enhancer genes, and DNA repair genes. B. None of the above. C. Proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. D. Proto-oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and DNA repair genes.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Tumor enhancer genes is not a recognized term in oncology. DNA repair genes, along with proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, are critical in cancer development.

Choice B rationale

There are specific genes involved in cancer development, as mentioned in the other options.

Choice C rationale

Proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes are both involved, but DNA repair genes also play a significant role.

Choice D rationale

Proto-oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and DNA repair genes collectively contribute to cancer development by either promoting or failing to prevent cell proliferation and damage repair.
