Question

Match the recombinant DNA products in Group I with its application in Group II

Group I	Group II
P) Tissue plasminogen activator	1) Emergency treatment of heart attack
Q) Erythropoietin	2) Treatment of anemia
R) Superoxide dismutase	3) Prevents tissue damage
S) Interferon	4) Stimulates cells to inhibit viral replication

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve this matching problem, we need to understand the application of each recombinant DNA product listed in Group I and match them with the correct application in Group II.

1. Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA): This enzyme is used in the treatment of blood clots. It helps in the emergency treatment of heart attacks by dissolving the clots that are obstructing blood flow. Thus, it matches with Group II item 1) Emergency treatment of heart attack.
2. Erythropoietin: This hormone stimulates the production of red blood cells and is commonly used in the treatment of anemia, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease. Therefore, it matches with Group II item 2) Treatment of anemia.
3. Superoxide dismutase (SOD): This enzyme helps protect cells from free radical damage, thereby preventing tissue damage. Thus, it matches with Group II item 3) Prevents tissue damage.
4. Interferon: Interferons are proteins that stimulate cells to increase their antiviral defenses, inhibiting viral replication. Hence, they match with Group II item 4) Stimulates cells to inhibit viral replication.

Therefore, the correct matching is:

• P) Tissue plasminogen activator - 1) Emergency treatment of heart attack
• Q) Erythropoietin - 2) Treatment of anemia
• R) Superoxide dismutase - 3) Prevents tissue damage
• S) Interferon - 4) Stimulates cells to inhibit viral replication

The correct answer is: P-1, Q-2, R-3, S-4
