{'chameleon': [1, 0, 1, 0], 'common blue green algae spirogyra': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'ulothrix': [2, 0, 1, 1], 'fresh water ponds': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'oceans': [8, 1, 8, 19], 'eye': [11, 1, 6, 5]}

Statement 1 states that the common blue green algae Spirogyra and Ulothrix are found in both fresh water ponds and oceans. Algae species like Spirogyra and Ulothrix are generally found in fresh water environments. However, the statement declares they are found in oceans as well, and without specific supporting evidence, this claim is debatable. But the answer assumes it as true.

Statement 2 asserts the chameleon can look ahead with one eye, and at the same time look behind with another. This is accurate, as chameleons have unique eyes that can swivel independently, allowing them to look in two completely different directions at once.

The answer 3, both 1 and 2, indicates that both these statements are considered accurate according to the solution provided.

For teaching purposes, statement 1 could be explored more for further clarity regarding the habitats of Spirogyra and Ulothrix.
