List -I List -II
(A) Ribosome (I) Replication
(B) Histone (II) Transcription
(C) DNA polymerase (III) Translation
(D) RNA polymerase (IV) Nucleosome

 Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options:

(A)-(1), (B)-(II), (C)-(III), (D)-(IV)

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

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

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

Correct Answer:

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

Explanation:

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

List -I List -II
(A) Ribosome (III) Translation
(B) Histone (IV) Nucleosome
(C) DNA polymerase (I) Replication
(D) RNA polymerase (II) Transcription

Here's an explanation of the matching between List I and List II:

(A) Ribosome - (III) Translation

  • Ribosomes are cellular structures responsible for protein synthesis or translation. They read the mRNA (messenger RNA) sequence and link together amino acids to form a protein chain.

(B) Histone - (IV) Nucleosome

  • Histones are proteins found in the cell nucleus that help package and condense DNA into a dense structure known as chromatin. Nucleosomes are the basic unit of this packaging, consisting of DNA wrapped around histone proteins.

(C) DNA polymerase - (I) Replication

  • DNA polymerase is an enzyme involved in DNA replication. It catalyzes the synthesis of a new DNA strand by adding complementary nucleotides to a template DNA strand during cell division.

(D) RNA polymerase - (II) Transcription

  • RNA polymerase is an enzyme responsible for transcription, the process of synthesizing an RNA molecule from a DNA template.

These associations reflect the roles and functions of these biological components in various cellular processes related to genetic information and protein synthesis.
