Clemens's conjecture for rational curves on the generic quintic threefold

From papers

Let XP4X\subset\mathbb{P}^4 be a generic quintic threefold. A rational curve means a curve on XX birational to P1\mathbb{P}^1, and its degree is measured with respect to the embedding XP4X\subset\mathbb{P}^4. Clemens's conjecture. The generic quintic threefold XX admits only a finite number of rational curves of each degree. Each rational curve is a smoothly embedded P1\mathbb{P}^1 with normal bundle

O(1)O(1).\mathscr{O}(-1)\oplus\mathscr{O}(-1).

Furthermore, all the rational curves on XX are mutually disjoint. This is the classical Clemens conjecture for the generic quintic threefold; the supplied passage gives no resolution status for the full statement.
