The correct Answer is:
To determine the incorrect statement regarding landmark events in biotechnology, we will analyze each of the provided options step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze Option A - **Statement**: "Eli Lilly and Company prepared Humulin in 1983." - **Explanation**: Humulin is indeed a form of human insulin produced using recombinant DNA technology by Eli Lilly in 1982, which was commercially available in 1983. However, while it was a significant advancement in biotechnology, the statement claims it was not a landmark event, which is incorrect. Humulin was a landmark event as it was the first genetically engineered drug approved for human use. ### Step 2: Analyze Option B - **Statement**: "The first clinical gene therapy was given in 1990 to a four-year-old child with ADA deficiency." - **Explanation**: This statement is accurate. The first successful gene therapy was indeed performed on a child with adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency in 1990. This event is considered a landmark in the field of gene therapy. ### Step 3: Analyze Option C - **Statement**: "Introduction of Human Alpha Lactalbumin gene was done in a cow named Rosie in 1997." - **Explanation**: This statement is also correct. In 1997, a cow named Rosie was genetically engineered to produce human alpha-lactalbumin, which was a significant achievement in biotechnology, particularly in the area of transgenic animals. ### Step 4: Analyze Option D - **Statement**: "An American company got patent rights for 'Golden Rice' through the US Patent and Trademark Office." - **Explanation**: This statement is true. The development of Golden Rice, which is genetically modified to produce beta-carotene, was a landmark event in biotechnology aimed at addressing vitamin A deficiency. The patenting of this rice was a significant event in the field. ### Conclusion After analyzing all the options, we find that: - **Incorrect Statement**: Option A is the incorrect statement regarding landmark events in biotechnology, as it downplays the significance of Humulin as a landmark event. ### Final Answer The incorrect statement regarding landmark events in biotechnology is **Option A**. ---
