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

Cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are:
1. Two key classes of regulatory molecules that determine a cell's progress through the cell cycle
2. The products of the proto-oncogenes in a eukaryotic cell

Consider the following statements:

I: In animals, meiosis always results in the formation of gametes, while in other organisms it can give rise to spores.
II: Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction and therefore occurs in all eukaryotes (including single-celled organisms) that reproduce sexually.
III: Meiosis does not occur in archaea or bacteria, which reproduce via asexual processes such as binary fission.

The correct statements are:
1. I, II, and III
2. II and III
3. I and III
4. I and II
