The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the wrong statement, we will analyze each of the provided statements one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A**: "Human insulin is being commercially produced from a transgenic species of E. coli." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. E. coli is indeed used to produce human insulin through recombinant DNA technology. The A and B chains of insulin are produced separately and then combined. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **not** the wrong statement. 2. **Statement B**: "Genetically modified Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is used as a biopesticide on a commercial scale." - **Analysis**: This statement is also correct. Bt is widely used in agriculture as a biopesticide to control various insect pests. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **not** the wrong statement. 3. **Statement C**: "Human protein alpha 1 antitrypsin is used to treat emphysema." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. Alpha 1 antitrypsin is a protein that helps protect the lungs, and its deficiency can lead to emphysema, a lung condition. - **Conclusion**: This statement is **not** the wrong statement. 4. **Statement D**: "Beta toxin genes cryo-1ac control corn borer." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. The correct gene that controls corn borer is cryo-1ab, not cryo-1ac. - **Conclusion**: This statement is the **wrong statement**. ### Final Answer: The wrong statement is **Statement D**: "Beta toxin genes cryo-1ac control corn borer." ---
