Q150 / 160 · JIPMER 2004 · Zoology

Which of the following pairs is correctly matched?

  • A
    Central dogma - Codon
  • B
    Okazaki fragments - Splicing
  • C
    RNA polymerase-RNA primer
  • Correct answer
    D
    Restriction enzymes - Genetic engineering

Solution

Restriction enzyme recognises specific nucleotide sequences in DNA and then makes a double-stranded cleavage of DNA molecule. Restriction enzymes are called genetic scissors as they slice off genes and is recently being used in gene therapy technique. They are key tool of genetic engineering. Central dogma is related with protein synthesis. Okazaki fragments are found during DNA synthesis and RNA polymerase is used in synthesis of RNA.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
