The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we will analyze each statement one by one to determine their correctness. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Statement (i)**: - **Statement**: Methanogens are archaebacteria which fix atmospheric nitrogen. - **Analysis**: Methanogens are indeed archaebacteria, but they do not fix atmospheric nitrogen. Instead, they are known for producing methane gas. Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. 2. **Analyze Statement (ii)**: - **Statement**: Nostoc is a filamentous blue-green alga which fixes atmospheric nitrogen. - **Analysis**: Nostoc is classified as a cyanobacterium (often referred to as blue-green algae) and is known for its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, converting it into ammonia. Thus, this statement is **correct**. 3. **Analyze Statement (iii)**: - **Statement**: Mycoplasma lack cell wall and can survive without oxygen. - **Analysis**: Mycoplasma are unique in that they lack a cell wall, which allows them to take on various shapes (hence the term "joker" of microorganisms). They can also survive in anaerobic conditions (without oxygen). Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: - The correct statements are: - Statement (ii): Nostoc is a filamentous blue-green alga which fixes atmospheric nitrogen. - Statement (iii): Mycoplasma lack cell wall and can survive without oxygen. Thus, the correct answer is that statements (ii) and (iii) are correct. ### Final Answer: - The correct statements are (ii) and (iii). ---
