Question

Match List-I with List-II: 

List-I (Microbial Groups)		List-II (Structural Organisation)
(A)	Bacteria	(III)	Cellular, Prokaryotic
(B)	Prions	(I)	Only Proteins
(C)	Fungi	(IV)	Cellular, Eukaryotic
(D)	Viroids	(II)	Nucleic Acid

• A. \(A\text{-III},\ B\text{-II},\ C\text{-IV},\ D\text{-I}\)
• B. \(A\text{-IV},\ B\text{-II},\ C\text{-III},\ D\text{-I}\)
• C. \(A\text{-III},\ B\text{-I},\ C\text{-IV},\ D\text{-II}\)
• D. \(A\text{-I},\ B\text{-II},\ C\text{-IV},\ D\text{-III}\)

Hint:

Remember:
• Bacteria \(\rightarrow\) Prokaryotic
• Fungi \(\rightarrow\) Eukaryotic
• Prions \(\rightarrow\) Infectious proteins only
• Viroids \(\rightarrow\) Naked RNA molecules

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Microorganisms differ in their structural organization and biological nature. They may be:
• Prokaryotic
• Eukaryotic
• Proteinaceous infectious particles
• Naked nucleic acids

Step 1: Matching Bacteria. Bacteria are: \[ \text{Cellular, prokaryotic organisms} \] Thus: \[ A \rightarrow III \]

Step 2: Matching Prions. Prions are infectious particles composed of: \[ \text{Only proteins} \] They lack nucleic acids. Thus: \[ B \rightarrow I \]

Step 3: Matching Fungi. Fungi are: \[ \text{Cellular, eukaryotic organisms} \] Thus: \[ C \rightarrow IV \]

Step 4: Matching Viroids. Viroids consist only of: \[ \text{Small circular RNA molecules} \] Therefore, they are composed solely of: \[ \text{Nucleic acid} \] Thus: \[ D \rightarrow II \]

Step 5: Determining the correct combination. Therefore: \[ \boxed{ A\text{-III},\ B\text{-I},\ C\text{-IV},\ D\text{-II} } \] Hence, the correct answer is: \[ \boxed{(C)\ A\text{-III},\ B\text{-I},\ C\text{-IV},\ D\text{-II}} \]
