Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
(A) Streptokinase — this matches (II) Clot Buster. Made by Streptococcus and modified by genetic engineering, it dissolves clots in blood vessels of heart-attack patients.
(B) Cyclosporin A — this matches (IV) Immuno suppressive agent. Produced by the fungus Trichoderma polysporum, it suppresses the immune response in organ-transplant patients, so the new organ is not rejected.
(C) Statins — this matches (I) Blood-Cholesterol lowering agents. Made by the yeast Monascus purpureus, they block the enzyme that makes cholesterol.
(D) Swiss Cheese — this matches (III) Propionibacterium sharmanii. This bacterium makes a large amount of CO2, which forms the large holes of Swiss cheese.
