Question

Match the items in List I with the items in List II 

 

• A. A - III, B - I, C - IV, D - II
• B. A - IV, B - I, C - II, D - III
• C. A - II, B - I, C - III, D - IV
• D. A - IV, B - III, C - I, D - II

Hint:

To solve virus-based matching questions, remember key features: - Retroviruses use reverse transcriptase. - RNA viruses like Influenza often have segmented genomes. - dsDNA viruses include Poxvirus. - Positive-strand RNA viruses like Hepatitis C require RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Match HIV with reverse transcriptase.
HIV is a retrovirus that uses the enzyme reverse transcriptase to convert its RNA into DNA. So, A → IV.
Step 2: Identify the segmented RNA genome virus.
Influenza virus has a segmented negative-sense RNA genome. So, B → III.
Step 3: Determine which virus uses RNA-dependent RNA polymerase.
Hepatitis C virus is a positive-sense RNA virus and uses RNA-dependent RNA polymerase for replication. So, C → I.
Step 4: Match the dsDNA virus.
Pox virus is a double-stranded DNA virus. So, D → II.
