In a plant cell, cytokinesis is achieved by:
1. the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane which gradually deepens and ultimately joins in the centre dividing the cell cytoplasm into two.
2. the appearance of the cell-plate and the formation starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls.
3. the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane which starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls.
4. the appearance of the cell-plate and the formation starts in the periphery of the cell and grows inward to meet the existing central walls.

Identify the correct statements regarding Meiosis:
I: Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division called meiosis I and meiosis II but only a single cycle of DNA replication.
II: Meiosis I is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated to produce identical sister chromatids at the S phase and the daughter cells of meiosis I replicate DNA during interkinesis.
III: Meiosis involves pairing of heterologous chromosomes and recombination between sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
IV: Four haploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis II.

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