Question

Find the correct matches

	List I		List II
a	$M_{13}$ bacteriophage	i	$ds$ $RNA$
b	Rice Dwarf Virus	ii	$ss$ $RNA$
c	Cauliflower Mosaic Virus	iii	$ss$ $DNA$
d	Polio Virus	iv	$ds$ $DNA$

• A. a - iii, b - i, c - iv, d - ii
• B. a - ii, b - i, c - iii, d - iv
• C. a - iii, b - iv, c - ii, d - i
• D. a - iv, b - iii, c - i, d - ii

Answer 1

The correct option is A a - iii, b - i, c - iv, d - ii

The genome of the poliovirus is a single-stranded positive sense RNA that is about 7500 nucleotides long. Cauliflower Mosaic Virus contains a circular double-stranded DNA molecule of about 8.0 kilobases. M${}_{13}$ bacteriophage contains circular single-stranded DNA molecule. The Rice Dwarf Virus is a double stranded linear RNA virus. So the correct answer is 'a - iii, b - i, c - iv, d - ii'.
