Correct answer: D
The goal is to correctly match the terms in List I with the descriptions in List II. Let's analyze and match each term from List I with its appropriate partner in List II:
List I:
- A. RNA polymerase III: This enzyme is primarily responsible for transcribing DNA to synthesize tRNA, 5S rRNA, and other small RNAs.
- B. Termination of transcription: In prokaryotes, specific termination factors such as the Rho factor are involved in stopping transcription. In eukaryotes, different mechanisms and sequences are used.
- C. Splicing of Exons: The process involving the removal of introns and joining of exons during mRNA processing. Small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs) are critical components in this process.
- D. TATA box: A DNA sequence within the promoter region, which is crucial for forming the transcription initiation complex.
List II:
- I. snRNPs: Small nuclear ribonucleoproteins involved in mRNA splicing.
- II. Promoter: A region of DNA that initiates transcription of a particular gene, typically containing sequences like the TATA box.
- III. Rho factor: A protein essential for terminating transcription in prokaryotes.
- IV. SnRNAs, tRNA: Molecules transcribed primarily by RNA polymerase III.
Matching these descriptions:
- A (RNA polymerase III) matches with IV (SnRNAs, tRNA).
- B (Termination of transcription) matches with III (Rho factor).
- C (Splicing of Exons) matches with I (snRNPs).
- D (TATA box) matches with II (Promoter).
Therefore, the correct matches according to options listed are:
Option D: A-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
