Q129 (IAS/2002) Science & Technology › Basic Science (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) › Genetics and evolution

Match List I (Scientists) with List II I (Achievement) and select the correct answer using the codes given below the lists

(Scientists) | (Achievement)
A. Arber and Smith | 1. Developed transgenic plants with Agrobacterium T-DNA
B. Feldman | 2. Discovered endonucleares
C. Mullis | 3. Discovered reverse transcriptase
D. Temin and Baltimore | 4. Discovered polymerase chain reaction

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation
Arber and Smith discovered restriction endonucleases (molecular scissors). Kary Mullis invented the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Temin and Baltimore discovered reverse transcriptase, found in retroviruses. This leaves Feldman, who is associated with developing transgenic plants using Agrobacterium T-DNA (specifically a method for transforming Arabidopsis seeds). Therefore, the correct matching sequence is A-2, B-1, C-4, D-3.
