The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correctness of the four statements, we will analyze each statement one by one. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement 1: Mendelian experiments had a large sampling size, which gave greater credibility to the data that he collected.** - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Mendel conducted his experiments on a large number of pea plants, which allowed him to gather reliable data and make valid conclusions about inheritance patterns. The larger the sample size, the more credible the results. - **Conclusion:** Statement 1 is correct. 2. **Statement 2: Recessive allele influences the appearance of phenotype even in the presence of an alternative allele.** - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. According to Mendel's law of dominance, a recessive allele does not influence the phenotype when a dominant allele is present. The dominant allele masks the expression of the recessive allele. - **Conclusion:** Statement 2 is incorrect. 3. **Statement 3: Multiple alleles can be found only when population studies are made.** - **Analysis:** This statement is correct. Multiple alleles refer to the existence of more than two alleles for a single gene within a population. To observe multiple alleles, one must study a population rather than a single individual, as an individual can only possess two alleles at most. - **Conclusion:** Statement 3 is correct. 4. **Statement 4: In the F2 generation of Mendelian monohybrid cross, the tall and dwarf traits were identical to their parental types and showed blending.** - **Analysis:** This statement is incorrect. In Mendelian inheritance, traits do not blend. In the F2 generation of a monohybrid cross, the phenotypic ratio is 3:1, where the dominant trait (tall) is expressed in three out of four plants, while the recessive trait (dwarf) is expressed in one. There is no blending of traits; they remain distinct. - **Conclusion:** Statement 4 is incorrect. ### Summary of Incorrect Statements: - The incorrect statements are **Statement 2** and **Statement 4**. ### Final Answer: The correct option for the incorrect statements is **C: 2 and 4**. ---
