Consider the given two statements:
| Statement I: | Genes are the units of inheritance and contain the information that is required to express a particular trait in an organism. |
| Statement II: | Genes which code for a pair of contrasting traits are known as alleles, i.e., they are slightly different forms of the same gene |
| 1. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect |
| 2. | Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct |
| 3. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct |
| 4. | Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect |

Identify the incorrect statement:
| 1. | Mendel found the phenotype of the F1 heterozygote Tt to be exactly like the TT parent in appearance. |
| 2. | He proposed that in a pair of dissimilar factors, one dominates the other. |
| 3. | It is convenient (and logical) to use the capital and lower case of an alphabetical symbol to remember this concept of dominance and recessiveness. |
| 4. | It is convenient (and logical) to use the capital and lower case of different alphabets symbol to remember this concept of dominance and recessiveness. |
