(i) Within a species, genetic diversity occurs in the differences of alleles, entire genes and chromosomal structures.
(ii) 1000 varieties of rice occur in India due to genetic variation.
(iii) Ecosystem diversity is high in Norway because of the occurrence of a large number of ecosystems.

The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Statement (i):** "Within a species, genetic diversity occurs in the differences of alleles, entire genes and chromosomal structures." - **Evaluation:** This statement is **True**. Genetic diversity indeed refers to the variations in alleles, genes, and chromosomal structures within a species. 2. **Statement (ii):** "1000 varieties of rice occur in India due to genetic variation." - **Evaluation:** This statement is **False**. While it is true that there are many varieties of rice in India, the number is significantly higher. - **Correction:** The corrected statement should read: "Over 50,000 varieties of rice occur in India due to genetic variation." 3. **Statement (iii):** "Ecosystem diversity is high in Norway because of the occurrence of a large number of ecosystems." - **Evaluation:** This statement is **False**. Norway does not have a high level of ecosystem diversity compared to other countries, such as India. - **Correction:** The corrected statement should read: "Ecosystem diversity is high in India because of the occurrence of a large number of ecosystems." **Final Summary of Statements:** - (i) True - (ii) False → Corrected to: "Over 50,000 varieties of rice occur in India due to genetic variation." - (iii) False → Corrected to: "Ecosystem diversity is high in India because of the occurrence of a large number of ecosystems." ---
