Question

Which one of the following is a case of wrong matching.

• A. Somatic hybridization - Fusion of two diverse cells
• B. Vector DNA - Site for tRNA synthesis
• C. Micropropagation - In-vitro production of plants in large numbers.
• D. Callus - Unorganised mass of cells produced in tissue culture.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Vector DNA - Site for tRNA synthesis

Somatic hybridization also called as protoplast fusion, is a type of genetic modification in plants by which two distinct species of plants are fused together to form a new hybrid plant with the characteristics of both, a somatic hybrid.

Micropropagation is the practice of rapidly multiplying stock plant material to produce a large number of progeny plants, using modern plant tissue culture methods.

Callus is an unorganised mass of cells produced in tissue culture.

A cloning vector is a small piece of DNA, taken from a virus, a plasmid, or the cell of a higher organism, that can be stably maintained in an organism, and into which a foreign DNA fragment can be inserted for cloning purposes. It is not a site for t-RNA synthesis.

So, the correct answer is option B.
