Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Meiosis is the mechanism by which conservation of specific chromosome number of each species is achieved across generations in sexually reproducing organisms.
Reason (R): Meiosis results in reduction of chromosome number by half in gametes.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
4. (A) is False but (R) is True.

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: At Metaphase I the chromosomes align at the equator and the microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle get attached to the kinetochores of sister chromatids.
Statement II: At metaphase II the bivalent chromosomes align on the equatorial plate and microtubules from the opposite poles of the spindle attach to the kinetochore of homologous chromosomes.
 
1. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
2. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is incorrect.
3. Statement I is correct and Statement II is correct.
4. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.
