Match List I with List II:

List I (Enzyme)	List II (Function)
(A) Cytochrome oxidase	(I) Electron transport system
(B) Topoisomerases	(II) Change linking number
(C) Cohesins	(III) DNA Replication
(D) PCNA	(IV) Cell cycle

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Answer 1

Melanin, the pigment coloring skin, hair, and eyes, is primarily derived from Tyrosine. Tyrosinase converts Tyrosine to DOPA, which then transforms into melanin. This pathway protects skin cells from UV-induced DNA damage. Tryptophan and cholesterol are part of separate biochemical processes.
