Options
- A(A)-(ii), (B)-(i), (C)-(iv), (D)-(iii)
- B(A)-(iv), (B)-(ii), (C)-(i), (D)-(iii)
- C(A)-(iii), (B)-(iv), (C)-(i), (D)-(ii)
- D(A)-(ii), (B)-(iv), (C)-(i), (D)-(iii)
Correct answer
D. (A)-(ii), (B)-(iv), (C)-(i), (D)-(iii)
Step-by-step solution
Gene therapy is a collection of methods that allows the correction of a gene defect diagnosed in a child or embryo. PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is used for the amplification of nucleic acids for the early diagnosis of diseases. ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) is based on the principle of antigen-antibody interaction. Transgenic animals are specially produced to serve as models for testing the safety of vaccines before they are used on humans. Answer: (A)-(ii), (B)-(iv), (C)-(i), (D)-(iii)
