I and II I, II and III I and III II, III and IV 8. Which of the following statements is not true with respect to variation? Selection of variants by environmental factors forms the basis of evolutionary processes. All variations in a species have equal chance of survival Change in genetic composition results in variation. Variation is minimum in asexual reproduction. 9. Select the statement that describes characteristics of genes. . Each chromosome has only one gene. In individuals of a given species, a specific gene is located on a particular chromosome. Genes are specific sequence of bases in a DNA molecule. A gene does not code for proteins. 10.
