Telophase of mitosis is characterised by all the following events, except:
1. Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles, and their identity is lost as discrete elements.
2. Nuclear envelope develops around the chromosome clusters at each pole, forming two daughter nuclei.
3. Nucleolus, Golgi complex and ER reform.
4. Pairing of homologous chromosomes.

Consider the two statements:
Assertion (A): Meiosis ensures the production of haploid phase in the life cycle of sexually reproducing organisms.
Reason (R): Syngamy restores the diploid condition in sexually reproducing organisms.  
 
1. (A) is True; (R) is False
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A)
3. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A)
4. (A) is False; (R) is True

All the following are key features of meiosis except:
1. Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division called meiosis I and meiosis II but only a single cycle of DNA replication.
2. Meiosis I is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated to produce identical sister chromatids at the S phase.
3. Meiosis involves pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
4. Four haploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis I.

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.

Prophase I has been subdivided into the five phases based on chromosomal behaviour and the correct chronology of these phases [beginning from the earliest] will be:
1. Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diakinesis and Diplotene.
2. Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis.
3. Leptotene, Pachytene, Zygotene, Diakinesis and Diplotene.
4. Diplotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diakinesis and Leptotene.
