Genetics, an important branch of biology, is best defined as:
| 1. | The study of the transmission of traits from parent to offspring. |
| 2. | The study of genes and traits defined by genes. |
| 3. | The study of DNA. |
| 4. | The study of variation between members of a species. |

Consider the given two statements:
| Assertion (A): | In a dissimilar situation, the chance of a gamete receiving the dominant allele of a given gene is much higher than receiving the recessive allele. |
| Reason (R): | Recessive alleles are always present in less number than a dominant allele in the gene pool. |
| 1. | (A) is True but (R) is False |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A) |
| 3. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A) |
| 4. | (A) is False and (R) is also False |

The number of correct statements from the given statements is:
| I: | Gregor Mendel, conducted hybridisation experiments on garden peas for seven years (1856-1863) and proposed the laws of inheritance in living organisms. |
| II: | During Mendel’s investigations into inheritance patterns it was for the first time that statistical analysis and mathematical logic were applied to problems in biology. |
| III: | His experiments had a large sampling size, which gave greater credibility to the data that he collected. |
| IV: | Mendel investigated characters in the garden pea plant that were manifested as two opposing traits. |
