Question

Match the LIST-I with LIST-II 

LIST-I		LIST-II
A.	Auxin	I.	Undifferentiated mass of cell
B.	Protoplast	II.	6-Furfuryl amino purine
C.	Callus	III.	Indole-3 Acetic Acid
D.	Cytokinin	IV.	Pectinase

Choose the correct answer from the options given below: 
 

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

Hint:

Remember the key chemical examples for the two main plant hormones used in tissue culture: Auxin \(\rightarrow\) IAA (Indole-3-Acetic Acid) and Cytokinin \(\rightarrow\) Kinetin (6-Furfuryl amino purine) or Zeatin.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Concept:
This question requires matching terms from plant biology and tissue culture with their correct definition, example, or associated enzyme.
Step 2: Detailed Explanation:
A. Auxin: This is a class of plant hormones. The principal and most abundant natural auxin is III. Indole-3-Acetic Acid (IAA).
B. Protoplast: To create a protoplast (a plant cell without a wall), enzymes are used to digest the wall components. IV. Pectinase is an enzyme that digests pectin, the substance that glues cells together, and is a key component of the enzyme mixture used for protoplast isolation.
C. Callus: This is, by definition, an I. undifferentiated mass of cell that grows in tissue culture.
D. Cytokinin: This is another class of plant hormones. A well-known synthetic cytokinin is Kinetin, whose chemical name is II. 6-Furfuryl amino purine.
Step 3: Final Answer:
The correct matches are A-III, B-IV, C-I, and D-II.
