Correct answer
D. A-III, B-I, C-II
Step-by-step solution
In recombinant DNA technology, the isolation of genetic material requires breaking open the cells to release DNA. Bacterial cells have a cell wall made of peptidoglycan, which is degraded by the enzyme lysozyme (A-III). Plant cells have a cellulosic cell wall, which is degraded by the enzyme cellulase (B-I). Fungal cells have a cell wall made of chitin, which is degraded by the enzyme chitinase (C-II). Ribonuclease is used later in the process to remove RNA, not to break open the cell wall. Therefore, the correct m
