Question

Match the following list: 

 

• A. A-II-iv, B-I-ii, C-IV-i, D-III-iii
• B. A-II-iii, B-I-iv, C-III-ii, D-II-i
• C. A-I-iii, B-I-ii, C-IV-i, D-III-iv
• D. A-I-iv, B-III-ii, C-IV-iii, D-III-i

Hint:

The structural properties of viruses such as genome type and morphology are essential for classification and function.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve the matching problem, we need to carefully analyze the characteristics listed in each column and match them appropriately. Let's break down each list and find the correct matches.
List I: Characteristics
A. Two genome copies: This refers to viruses that have two copies of their RNA genome, such as HIV.
B. Helical: This refers to viruses with a helical capsid structure, such as the rabies virus.
C. Enveloped: This refers to viruses that have an outer lipid envelope, such as the influenza virus.
D. Spikes: This refers to viruses that have glycoprotein spikes on their surface, such as the measles virus.
List II: Descriptions
I. Long rod: This describes the shape of the capsid, such as the helical structure of the rabies virus.
II. RNA: This refers to the genetic material of the virus, such as HIV.
III. Glycoprotein: This refers to the spikes on the virus surface, such as those on the measles virus.
IV. Roughly spherical: This describes the shape of the virus, such as the influenza virus.
List III: Viruses
i. Influenza virus: An enveloped virus with a roughly spherical shape.
ii. Rabies virus: A virus with a helical capsid structure.
iii. Measles virus: A virus with glycoprotein spikes.
iv. HIV: A virus with two genome copies of RNA.
Step-by-Step Matching:
1. A. Two genome copies:
This characteristic matches II. RNA (as HIV has RNA as its genetic material) and iv. HIV (which has two RNA genome copies).
A-II-iv
2. B. Helical:
This characteristic matches I. Long rod (describing the helical shape) and ii. Rabies virus (which has a helical capsid).
B-I-ii
3. C. Enveloped:
This characteristic matches IV. Roughly spherical (describing the shape) and i. Influenza virus (which is enveloped and roughly spherical).
C-IV-i
4. D. Spikes:
This characteristic matches III. Glycoprotein (describing the spikes) and iii. Measles virus (which has glycoprotein spikes).
D-III-iii
Final Matching:
A-II-iv: Two genome copies - RNA - HIV
B-I-ii: Helical - Long rod - Rabies virus
C-IV-i: Enveloped - Roughly spherical - Influenza virus
D-III-iii: Spikes - Glycoprotein - Measles virus
Correct Answer:
\[ \boxed{(1) A-II-iv, B-I-ii, C-IV-i, D-III-iii} \]
