Given below are two statements : 
Statement I: Proteins encoded by genes cryIAc and cryllAb control corn borer, that of crylAb control the cotton bollworms 
Statement II: Bt toxin protein exist as inactive protoxins but once an insect ingests the inactive toxin, it is converted into an active form of toxin due to the alkaline pH of the gut 
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are true 
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are false 
3. Statement I is true and Statement II is false 
4. Statement I is false but Statement II is true

Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Bacillus thuringiensis forms protein crystals which contain a toxin that kills certain insects but not Bacillus because Bt toxin protein exists as inactive protoxins in Bacillus.
Statement II: Bacillus thuringiensis forms protein crystals which contain a toxin that kills certain insects but not Bacillus because toxin requires alkaline pH available in the gut of insects and which solubilises the crystals in order to convert into an active form.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
1.  Both statement I and statement II are true
2.  Both statement I and statement II are false
3.  Statement I is correct but statement II is false
4.  Statement I is incorrect but statement II is true
