Question-1

Match the following and choose the correct combination from the options given below :
Column - IColumn - II
A. Escherichia coliI. nif gene
B. Bacillus thuringiensisII. Interferon
C. Rhizobium melilotiIII. Bt toxin
D. Agrobacterium tumefaciensIV. Vector
Codes:

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

Answer: (c)

E. coli is used in production of interferon. Interferon is a protein released by animal cells, usually in response to the entry of a virus, which has the property of inhibiting virus replication.

Bacillus thuringiensis is a bacterium that produces proteins which are toxic to insects.

Rhizobium meliloti is a soil bacterium that forms nitrogen-fixing nodules on the roots of certain genera of leguminous plants. The nif genes are genes encoding enzymes involved in the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen into a form of nitrogen available to living organisms. The nif genes are found in both free-living nitrogen-fixing bacteria and in symbiotic bacteria associated with various plants.

Agrobacterium tumefaciens is a small motile bacterial rod that can reduce nitrates and cause galls on plant stems (called crown gall disease of plants). Agrobacterium potentially might be a very useful vector for introducing any desired DNA into plants.
