MatchList IwithList II

List I (Crops)List II (Transgene)
(A). Canola(I). Ferritin
(B). Tomato(II). -tocopherol methyl transferase
(C). Sugar beet(III). Chalone isomerase
(D). Rice(IV). Sucrase fructosyl transferase

Choose thecorrectanswer from the options given below:

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Canola is genetically modified using the -tocopherol methyl transferase gene to increase vitamin E content.

Tomato is genetically modified using the chalcone isomerase gene to increase flavonoid (antioxidant) levels.

Sugar beet is genetically modified using the sucrase fructosyl transferase gene to produce fructans.

Rice is genetically modified using the ferritin gene to increase iron content.

Thus, the correct matching is (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I).

Answer: (A) - (II), (B) - (III), (C) - (IV), (D) - (I)
