1. I, II and III

2. I and II only

3. I and III only

4. II and III only

Identify the correct statement regarding meiosis amongst the following:
I. Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell divisions but only a single cycle of DNA replication.
II. Meiosis II is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated to produce identical sister chromatids at the S phase
III. Meiosis involves pairing of bivalents and recombinations between them.

1. I only

2. I and II only

3. I and III only

4. I, II and III
