Consider the following statements:
1. 1. The common blue green algae Spirogyra and Ulothrix are found in both fresh water ponds and oceans.
2. 2. The chameleon can look ahead with one eye, and at the same time look behind with another.
Which of these statements is/are correct?
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation
1. The question asks to verify two statements about biology.
2. Statement 1: The common blue green algae Spirogyra and Ulothrix are found in both fresh water ponds and oceans. Firstly, Spirogyra and Ulothrix are green algae, not blue-green algae (which are cyanobacteria). Secondly, both Spirogyra and Ulothrix are typically found in freshwater habitats like ponds and streams, not in oceans (marine environments). Therefore, the statement is incorrect on both counts (classification and habitat).
3. Statement 2: The chameleon can look ahead with one eye and at the same time look behind with another. This is correct. Chameleons have remarkable eyes that can move independently of each other, allowing them to scan a wide field of view, including looking in different directions simultaneously.
4. Based on the analysis, Statement 1 is incorrect and Statement 2 is correct.
5. The correct option should be (B) 'Only 2'. This matches the provided answer key.
