The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Explanation:

  • Streptokinase: Streptokinase is an enzyme produced by the bacteria Streptococci spp. This bacteria uses the enzyme streptokinase to break unwanted blood clots in the blood vessels, that is why streptokinase is also called clot buster. It is used to treat heart attack and pulmonary embolism (lung blood clots).
  • Cyclosporin: Cyclosporin A is used as an immunosuppressant that lowers the immune system and is used in organ transplant patients. It is produced from Trichoderma polysporum which is a fungus.
  • Statins: Statins are blood cholesterol-lowering agents. These are mainly used to lower LDL cholesterol also known as the bad cholesterol. It helps in reducing the risk of heart attacks or stroke. Statins are produced from a type of yeast called Monascus purpureus
  • Swiss Cheese: It is formed by the bacterium Propionibacterium Shermanii. The holes in Swiss cheese are a result of gas (CO2) produced during fermentation.

Therefore, the correct option is (B): A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III

Concepts Used:

Applications of Biotechnology

Biotechnology is the technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms, or parts of this to develop or create different products.

For example, brewing and baking bread fall within the concept of biotechnology (use of yeast (= living organism) to produce the desired product).

Agriculture

Alternative to conventional farming: A possible solution is the use of genetically modified crops which is an alternative path to conventional farming.

Medicine 

In the area of healthcare, recombinant DNA technological processes have made an immense impact which enables the mass production of safe and more effective therapeutic drugs.

Gene Therapy 

A collection of methods that allows the correction of a gene defect that has been diagnosed in a child/embryo is called Gene Therapy.

CRISPR technology

For editing genomes, CRISPR is a simple yet powerful tool which allows researchers to easily alter DNA sequences and modify gene function.
