The correct Answer is:
To determine the wrong statements from the provided options, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement I: Human insulin is being commercially produced from a transgenic species of Escherichia coli.** - This statement is **true**. Human insulin is indeed produced using genetically modified E. coli, which has been engineered to produce the insulin protein. 2. **Statement II: The genetically modified Bacillus thuringiensis is used as biopesticide on the commercial scale.** - This statement is also **true**. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is widely used as a biopesticide due to its insecticidal properties, and it is commercially applied in various crops. 3. **Statement III: Human protein, alpha-1-antitrypsin is used to treat emphysema.** - This statement is **true**. Alpha-1-antitrypsin is a protein that is used in the treatment of emphysema, a lung condition. 4. **Statement IV: The first transgenic cow, Rosie, produced alpha lactalbumin, enriched milk.** - This statement is **true**. Rosie was indeed the first transgenic cow, and she was engineered to produce milk with higher levels of alpha-lactalbumin, a valuable protein. 5. **Statement V: Bt toxin genes cry1Ac control the corn borer.** - This statement is **false**. The Cry1Ac gene from Bt does not specifically control the corn borer; it is more effective against other pests. The correct gene for controlling the corn borer is Cry1Ab. ### Conclusion: The only wrong statement among the provided options is **Statement V**. ### Final Answer: The wrong statement is **Statement V only**. ---
