    Question

    Which one of the following combinations of terms is matched INCORRECTLY?

    A.

    Nanopore : DNA sequencing

    B.

    Pyrosequencing : Protein primary structure

    C.

    Homologous recombination : chloroplast transformation

    D.

    SSRs : Co-dominant markers

    Correct option is B

    Explanation-

    Option a: Nanopore : DNA sequencing   -  CORRECT
    Nanopore technology is a modern technique used in DNA sequencing where DNA strands pass through a nanopore and the sequence is read in real time.

    Option b : Pyrosequencing : Protein primary structure  -  INCORRECT
    Pyrosequencing is a method used for DNA sequencing, not for determining protein structure. Protein primary structure refers to the sequence of amino acids in a protein, determined by techniques like mass spectrometry or Edman degradation..

    Option c : Homologous recombination : Chloroplast transformation  - CORRECT
    Homologous recombination is indeed used in chloroplast genetic engineering, allowing targeted insertion of genes.

    Option d: SSRs : Co-dominant markers   - CORRECT
    Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) or microsatellites are co-dominant markers. They can distinguish between homozygous and heterozygous states in genetic analysis.

    Correct Answer: Option b - (Pyrosequencing : Protein primary structure) is the only incorrect match that makes it a correct answer.
