Question

Match the contents of List-I with List-II

 

• A. a-i, b-ii, c-iv, d-iii
• B. a-i, b-i, c-iii, d-iv
• C. a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii
• D. a-iv, b-ii, c-iii, d-i

Hint:

Bioreactors and downstream processing are critical steps in biotechnology, while PCR is essential for genetic diagnostics.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

• Definition of Matching: The task is to pair each biotechnological term in List-I with its correct description or application in List-II.
• Option Analysis:
  • (a) Bioreactors: These are vessels designed to convert raw materials into specific products (e.g., insulin, enzymes) through controlled biological processes. Matches with ii) Vessels which convert raw material into specific product.
  • (b) Downstream processing: This involves the separation and purification of products (e.g., proteins) after biosynthesis. Matches with iv) Involves separation and purification.
  • (c) Recombinant protein: Proteins like insulin produced using recombinant DNA (rDNA) technology, often in bioreactors. Matches with i) Insulin produced by rDNA technology.
  • (d) PCR: Polymerase Chain Reaction is used to amplify DNA, including detecting mutated genes in cancer patients. Matches with iii) Detect mutated genes in suspected cancer patient.
• Correct Pairing: The correct matching is a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii, which corresponds to option (3).
• Conclusion: The correct answer is (3) a-ii, b-iv, c-i, d-iii, as it accurately aligns each term with its application.
