Match List I with List II List I List II A Frederick Griffith I Genetic code B Francois Jacob & Jacque II Semi-conservative mode of DNA replication C Har Gobind Khoran III Transformation D Meselson & Stahl IV Lac operon
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| List I | List II | ||
| A | Frederick Griffith | I | Genetic code |
| B | Francois Jacob & Jacque | II | Semi-conservative mode of DNA replication |
| C | Har Gobind Khoran | III | Transformation |
| D | Meselson & Stahl | IV | Lac operon |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- A-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
- A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
- A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
The Correct Option is B
Approach Solution - 1
To correctly match the items from List I with List II, let's analyze the contributions of each scientist mentioned:
- Frederick Griffith is renowned for discovering the phenomenon of Transformation, a process where genetic material from one cell is taken up by another cell, often altering its genetic makeup.
- Francois Jacob and Jacques Monod are credited with developing the concept of the Lac operon, a model explaining gene regulation in bacteria.
- Har Gobind Khorana was pivotal in deciphering the Genetic code, showing how sequences of nucleotides correspond to specific amino acids.
- Meselson and Stahl demonstrated the Semi-conservative mode of DNA replication, where each new DNA molecule retains one original strand and one new strand.
Based on these explanations, the correct matching is:
| List I | List II | ||
| A | Frederick Griffith | III | Transformation |
| B | Francois Jacob & Jacques Monod | IV | Lac operon |
| C | Har Gobind Khorana | I | Genetic code |
| D | Meselson & Stahl | II | Semi-conservative mode of DNA replication |
Therefore, the correct answer is: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.
Approach Solution -2
A. Frederick Griffith is known for his discovery of the phenomenon of transformation, so it matches with III. Transformation.
B. Francois Jacob & Jacque Monod are known for their work on the Lac operon, so it matches with IV. Lac operon.
C. Har Gobind Khorana is credited with deciphering the genetic code, so it matches with I. Genetic code.
D. Meselson & Stahl are famous for their experiment demonstrating the semi-conservative model of DNA replication, so it matches with II. Semi-conservative mode of DNA replication.
Thus, the correct answer is (2) A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II.

Three identical heat conducting rods are connected in series as shown in the figure. The rods on the sides have thermal conductivity 2K while that in the middle has thermal conductivity K. The left end of the combination is maintained at temperature 3T and the right end at T. The rods are thermally insulated from outside. In steady state, temperature at the left junction is \(T_1\) and that at the right junction is \(T_2\). The ratio \(T_1 / T_2\) is

- Consider the diameter of a spherical object being measured with the help of a Vernier Callipers. Suppose its 10 Vernier Scale Divisions (V.S.D.) are equal to its 9 Main Scale Divisions (M.S.D.). The least count in the M.S. is 0.1 cm and the zero of V.S. is at -0.1 cm when the jaws of Vernier callipers are closed. If the main scale reading for the diameter is \(M = 5\) cm and the number of coinciding vernier division is 8, the measured diameter after zero error correction, is:
