Question

Match the columns: 

        A                                                                B 

(i) Entamoeba                           (a) First antibiotic 
(ii) Gel electrophoresis            (b) Recessive gene blood disease 
(iii) Penicillin                            (c) Zoological parks 
(iv) Thalassemia                       (d) Absence of 1 X-chromosome 
(v) Turner's syndrome             (e) Separation of DNA fragments 
(vi) Ex-situ conservation         (f) Amoebiasis 
(vii) Sunken stomata               (g) Attached DNA fragments 
                                                  (h) Adaptation

Hint:

In biology, matching terms often test your understanding of functions, adaptations, and processes. Make sure to relate each term to its definition or function.

Answer 1

Step 1: Understanding the columns.
- Entamoeba causes Amoebiasis, so (i) matches with (f).
- Gel electrophoresis is used for the separation of DNA fragments, so (ii) matches with (e).
- Penicillin is the first antibiotic, so (iii) matches with (a).
- Thalassemia is a recessive gene blood disease, so (iv) matches with (b).
- Turner's syndrome is the absence of 1 X-chromosome, so (v) matches with (d).
- Ex-situ conservation involves zoological parks, so (vi) matches with (c).
- Sunken stomata is an adaptation to reduce water loss, so (vii) matches with (h).

Step 2: Conclusion.
The correct matches are: (i) - (f), (ii) - (e), (iii) - (a), (iv) - (b), (v) - (d), (vi) - (c), (vii) - (h).
