CUET PG 2026 Agri-Business Management Question Paper (25-Mar-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
A, C, B, D

The question deals with the sequence of chemical entities involved in nucleic acid synthesis in bacteria. The correct sequence is: Para amino benzoic acid (PABA) → Dihydrofolate → Tetrahydrofolate → DNA. Let's understand each step involved in this sequence:

  1. Para Amino Benzoic Acid (PABA): PABA is a precursor for the synthesis of folate in bacteria. Bacteria use PABA to synthesize dihydrofolate, an important folate intermediate.
  2. Dihydrofolate: This is synthesized from PABA and is the substrate for the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, which converts it into tetrahydrofolate.
  3. Tetrahydrofolate: This is the active form of folate, which acts as a coenzyme in the synthesis of nucleic acids. It's involved in transferring one-carbon units in various metabolic reactions, crucial for the synthesis of purines and thymidylate, essential components of nucleic acids.
  4. DNA: Ultimately, the synthesis of nucleotides leads to the creation of DNA, which is vital for the replication and function of bacterial cells.

Thus, the correct sequence of chemical entities is A (Para amino benzoic acid), C (Dihydrofolate), B (Tetrahydrofolate), D (DNA).

Therefore, the correct answer is: A, C, B, D.
