The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the incorrect pair, we will analyze each option provided in the question step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first option - BT cotton, genes from agrobacterium - **Explanation**: BT cotton is genetically modified to express a toxin from the bacterium *Bacillus thuringiensis*, which makes it resistant to certain pests. The genes used for BT cotton are not derived from *Agrobacterium*, but rather from *Bacillus thuringiensis*. - **Conclusion**: This pair is incorrect. ### Step 2: Analyze the second option - SCID, ADA deficiency - **Explanation**: Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme adenosine deaminase (ADA). This pair correctly identifies the cause of SCID. - **Conclusion**: This pair is correct. ### Step 3: Analyze the third option - Rosy alpha-lactoalbumin - **Explanation**: Rosy was a transgenic cow that produced milk enriched with human alpha-lactalbumin. This milk was designed to be more nutritionally balanced for human infants compared to regular cow milk. Therefore, this pair is also correct. - **Conclusion**: This pair is correct. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth option - Eli Lilly, Humulin - **Explanation**: Eli Lilly is known for producing Humulin, which is human insulin made by inserting the genes for insulin into *E. coli* bacteria. This process was indeed carried out in the early 1980s, making this pair correct as well. - **Conclusion**: This pair is correct. ### Final Conclusion: After analyzing all the options, the only incorrect pair is **BT cotton, genes from agrobacterium**. ### Summary of the Solution: - The incorrect pair is **BT cotton, genes from agrobacterium** because BT cotton uses genes from *Bacillus thuringiensis*, not *Agrobacterium*.
