The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding downstream processing and identify the incorrect statements, we can analyze each statement one by one: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Downstream Processing**: - Downstream processing refers to the series of processes that occur after the biosynthetic stage of production. It involves the separation and purification of the desired product to make it ready for marketing. 2. **Analyzing Statement I**: - **Statement I**: "The process occurs during the biosynthetic stage." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. Downstream processing occurs after the biosynthetic stage, not during it. 3. **Analyzing Statement II**: - **Statement II**: "It is there to facilitate increased production of desired product." - **Analysis**: This statement is also incorrect. Downstream processing does not facilitate increased production; rather, it focuses on the separation and purification of the product that has already been produced. 4. **Analyzing Statement III**: - **Statement III**: "It helps to ensure sterile conditions during the manufacturing of the desired product." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect as well. While maintaining sterile conditions is important, downstream processing primarily deals with separation and purification, not directly ensuring sterility during manufacturing. 5. **Analyzing Statement IV**: - **Statement IV**: "Collection of processes to ensure the desired product is ready for marketing." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Downstream processing includes various processes that prepare the product for marketing. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statements regarding downstream processing are: - Statement I - Statement II - Statement III Thus, the answer is that statements I, II, and III are incorrect.
