Consider the following statements:

I: G0 phase is viewed as either an extended G1 phase where the cell is neither dividing nor preparing to divide or as a distinct quiescent stage which occurs outside of the cell cycle.
II: In gamete production interphase is succeeded by meiosis.
III: In programmed cell death interphase is followed or preempted by apoptosis.

The correct statements include:

1. II and III 2. I and III
3. I, II, and III 4. I only
