Question

Match the media component used in mammalian cell culture (Column I) with its respective role (Column II).

• A. P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-2
• B. P-3, Q-4, R-2, S-1
• C. P-4, Q-3, R-1, S-2
• D. P-4, Q-3, R-2, S-1

Hint:

In cell culture, hormones, mitogens, vitamins, and cell attachment factors play distinct roles in regulating cell growth and maintenance.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

- P. Hydrocortisone is a hormone (3) that regulates various cell functions.
- Q. Fibronectin plays a crucial role in cell attachment (4) by mediating cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix.
- R. Epidermal growth factor is a mitogen (1), promoting cell growth and division. - S. Riboflavin is a vitamin (2) that helps in cellular metabolism.
Thus, the correct matching is P-3, Q-4, R-1, S-2, which corresponds to option (A).
