The start of the second phase of mitosis, metaphase, is marked by:

1. complete disintegration of the nuclear envelope
2. alignment of chromosomes at the equatorial plate
3. de-condensation of chromatin
4. reappearance of the nucleolus

Consider the given two statements:

I: Morphology of chromosomes is best studied at metaphase
II: At this stage, a chromosome is made up of two sister chromatids, held together at the centromere
 
1. Both I and II are True and II explains I
2. Both I and II are True but II does not explain I
3. I is True but II is False
4. I is False but II is True
