The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of selecting the incorrect statements regarding insulin production and recombinant therapeutics, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1**: "In 1983, an American company Alilili produced chain A and chain B separately by introducing two DNA sequences in the plasmid of E. coli." - This statement is **correct**. Alilili indeed produced the two chains of insulin (A and B) by introducing the respective DNA sequences into the plasmid of E. coli. 2. **Statement 2**: "Insulin consists of two chains A and B which are linked to each other by disulfide bonds." - This statement is also **correct**. Insulin is composed of two polypeptide chains (A and B) that are connected by disulfide bonds. 3. **Statement 3**: "In the world, about 20 recombinant therapeutics have been approved for human use, of which 10 are being marketed in India at present." - This statement is **incorrect**. The correct information is that approximately 30 recombinant therapeutics have been approved for human use globally, and 12 of these are marketed in India. 4. **Statement 4**: "Earlier, insulin was isolated from the pancreas of slaughtered cattle and pigs." - This statement is **correct**. Before the advent of recombinant DNA technology, insulin was indeed extracted from the pancreases of slaughtered animals such as cattle and pigs. ### Conclusion: The incorrect statement is **Statement 3**. ### Final Answer: - The incorrect statement is **Statement 3**.
