Detailed Solution

Cellulase is an enzyme that breaks down cellulose, a complex carbohydrate found in the cell walls of plant cells. It is used to isolate genetic material (DNA or RNA) from plant cells by breaking down the tough cell wall and releasing the genetic material.

Chitinase is an enzyme that breaks down chitin, a complex carbohydrate found in the cell walls of fungi and the exoskeletons of insects and other arthropods. It is used to isolate genetic material (DNA or RNA) from fungal cells by breaking down the chitin present in their cell walls.

(1) Protease is incorrect because protease is an enzyme that breaks down proteins, and it is not involved in isolating genetic material from plants or fungal cells.

(3), (4) Lipase is incorrect because lipase is an enzyme that breaks down lipids (fats), and it is not used for isolating genetic material from plants or fungal cells.
