Match List I with List II. List I List II A. RNA interference I. Cotton bollworms B. cryIAc II. Corn borer C. cryIAb III. Meloidogyne incognita D. Golden Rice IV. Vitamin A enrichment Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
- BA-III, B-II, C-I, D-IV
- CA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- DA-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
Correct answer
D. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
Step-by-step solution
RNA interference is a mechanism used to develop pest-resistant plants, specifically targeting the nematode Meloidogyne incognita (A matches with III). The proteins encoded by the genes cryIAc and cryIIAb control cotton bollworms (B matches with I). The protein encoded by the gene cryIAb controls the corn borer (C matches with II). Golden Rice is a transgenic variety of rice which has been genetically engineered to be enriched in Vitamin A (D matches with IV). Thus, the correct matching code is A-III, B-I, C-II, D-I
