Solution: Since genes code for specific proteins, statement ii) is incorrect. Because chromosomes can have any number of genes, Statement 4 is incorrect. Hence, the correct answer is (b) (i) and (iii)
Select the statements that describe characteristics of genes
(i) genes are a specific sequence of bases in a DNA molecule
(ii) a gene does not code for proteins
(iii) in individuals of a given species, a specific gene is located on a particular chromosome
(iv) each chromosome has only one gene
a) (i) and (ii)
b) (i) and (iii)
c) (i) and (iv)
d) (ii) and (iv)
(i) genes are a specific sequence of bases in a DNA molecule
(ii) a gene does not code for proteins
(iii) in individuals of a given species, a specific gene is located on a particular chromosome
(iv) each chromosome has only one gene
