II. Enzyme replacement therapy
III. Gel electrophoresis technique
IV. Hybridoma technique
Choose the correct option

Select the mismatched pair

Assertion: In developing world, Green
revolution was comparatively less effective
where farmers were dependent on conventional
breeding.

Reason: In developing world, inability to buy
expensive agro-chemicals forced farmers to rely
on conventional breeding.

Which of the following is/are correct about Adenosine Deaminase (ADA) deficiency?
I. In the absence of adenosine deaminase enzyme, purine metabolism is disturbed and T-lymphocytes fails to function
II. ADA deficiency is caused by the deletion of the gene for ADA
III. In some cases, it can be cured by bone marrow transplantation and enzyme replacement therapy. But in both approaches, the patients are not completely cured
IV. For permanent cure, genes isolated from the bone marrow cells producing ADA at early embryonic stages can be a possible cure
Which of the above statements are correct?

Assertion: By insertion of gene encoding
complementary RNA only the RNAi can be
introduced in an organism.

Reason: In vitro there are no methods by which
synthesised complementary RNA can be
inserted in an organism to induce RNAi (RNA
interference).
