Identify the incorrect statement regarding Bacillus thuringiensis?
| 1. | forms protein crystals during a particular phase of their growth which contains a toxic insecticidal protein. |
| 2. | The Bt toxin protein exists as an inactive protoxin that is converted into an active form by an alkaline pH in the insect's gut. |
| 3. | Activated toxin binds to the surface of midgut epithelial cells, creates pores, causes cell swelling and lysis and eventually death of the insect. |
| 4. | Proteins encoded by the genes cryIAc and cryIIAb control the corn borer, that of cryIAb controls cotton bollworms. |

To produce human recombinant insulin, Eli Lily:
| 1. | prepared two DNA sequences corresponding to A and B chains of human insulin and introduced them in plasmids of E. coli to produce insulin chains. |
| 2. | prepared two DNA sequences corresponding to A and C chains of human insulin and introduced them in plasmids of Yeast to produce insulin chains. |
| 3. | used reverse transcription of the hnRNA transcript of the insulin gene to make complementary DNA. |
| 4. | used fragments created by restriction enzyme digestion to isolate and used the gene for insulin from pancreatic cells. |
