Column I Column II
A. Biopiracy 4. Unauthorised use of biological products and processes
B. Biopatent 3. Right granted for biological entities
C. RNAi 2. Gene silencing
D. Lepidopterans 1. Armyworm

Explanation:

A. Biopiracy - Unauthorised use of biological products and processes: Biopiracy refers to the unethical exploitation and commercialization of biological resources, traditional knowledge, or genetic resources without proper authorization or compensation.

B. Biopatent - Right granted for biological entities: A biopatent is a patent granted for inventions related to biological entities, such as genes, proteins, microorganisms, and other biological processes.

C. RNAi - Gene silencing: RNAi takes place in all eukaryotic organisms as a method of cellular defense. This method involves silencing of a specific mRNA due to a complementary dsRNA molecule that binds to and prevents translation of the mRNA (silencing). The source of this complementary RNA could be from an infection by viruses having RNA genomes or mobile genetic elements (transposons) that replicate via an RNA intermediate.

D. Lepidopterans - Armyworm: Lepidopterans are a group of insects that includes various species of moths and butterflies. Armyworm is a common name for certain species of moth caterpillars that are known for their destructive feeding habits on crops.
