Match List I with List II regarding the enzymes used during the isolation of genetic material : List I List II A Bacterial cell I Cellulase B Plant cell II Chitinase C Fungal cell III Ribonuclease D RNA removal IV Lysozyme Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- AA-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
- BA-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
- CA-I, B-IV, C-II, D-III
- DA-IV, B-II, C-I, D-III
Correct answer
B. A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
Step-by-step solution
Bacterial cell walls are degraded by the enzyme lysozyme. Plant cell walls are primarily composed of cellulose, which is degraded by the enzyme cellulase. Fungal cell walls are made of chitin, which is degraded by the enzyme chitinase. RNA is removed during the isolation of genetic material by treating the cellular extract with the enzyme ribonuclease (RNase). Thus, the correct matching is A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III. Answer: A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
