Question:

Match List-I with List-II

List-I (Name of the molecule/drug)

List-II (Use/disease name)

(A) Thyroxine

(I) Scurvy

(B) Ascorbic acid

(II) Thyroid gland

(C) Steroid hormones

(III) Identification of criminals

(D) DNA fingerprinting

(IV) Adrenal cortex

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Options:

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(I), (B)-(III), (C)-(II), (D)-(IV)

(A)-(I), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

Correct Answer:

(A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → (A)-(II), (B)-(I), (C)-(IV), (D)-(III)

List-I (Name of the molecule/drug)

List-II (Use/disease name)

(A) Thyroxine

(II) Thyroid gland

(B) Ascorbic acid

(I) Scurvy

(C) Steroid hormones

(IV) Adrenal cortex

(D) DNA fingerprinting

(III) Identification of criminals

Quick recall:

  • Thyroxine → Hormone secreted by thyroid gland
  • Ascorbic acid → Vitamin C → deficiency causes scurvy
  • Steroid hormones (cortisol, aldosterone, etc.) → secreted by adrenal cortex
  • DNA fingerprinting → used in forensic science for identification of criminals/individuals
