Consider the given statements regarding cynobacteria [blue green algae]:
I. Some cyanobacteria can fix atmospheric nitrogen in aerobic conditions by means of specialized cells called heterocysts.
II. Cyanobacteria such as Anabaena (a symbiont of the leguminous plants) can provide rice plantations with biofertilizer.
III. Many cyanobacteria form non motile filaments of cells, called hormogonia during unfavorable conditions
The incorrect statements are:
1. None
2. Only I and II
3. Only III
4. I, II and III
The following diagram shows:
