Answer: False.
Our hands or in general the skin has the presence of microflora present which serves many purposes like maintaining the pH balance of the skin and others. This microflora can be of two types: transient flora and normal flora organisms.
Hand washes and other agents like sanitizers which contain alcohol are only effective against removal of transient flora like mycobacterium tuberculosis and other viruses but arenot as effective against the normal microflora which is generally present deep seated within the layers of skin. Even after vigrous handwashing, normal microflora may reduce in number for a short period of time but its number will again bounce back as they are necesarry to maintain the normal skin hygeine and balance in body.
Therefore, with even vigrous handwashing with a good technique, it is not possible to remove all resident flora from the skin.
With good handwashing technique, it is possible to remove all resident flora from the skin. True...

1.The hygiene hypothesis proposes which of the following? Decreasing diversity of our normal flora from increased antibiotic usage and changes in diet and lifestyle may lead to increased allergies and autoimmune disorders. Newborns and young children should be exposed to as many disease-causing microorganisms as possible to train their immune system to attack pathogens. Decreased handwashing in clinical settings may help to combat the rise in exogenous, antimicrobial-resistant bacterial infections. Reducing the number of resident flora on our skin through...

Cloning is now possible by inserting a skin cell from a baby into an unfertilized human egg that has had its own DNA removed. This produces a blastocyte (an undifferentiated embry-onic cell), which includes stem cells identical to the baby’s. With this technique it is possible to make genetically identical embryonic stem cells from any cell in the human body. This would remove the need to harvest these cells from existing embryos. Theoretically these stem cells could be grown into...
