Consider the given two statements:

I. During G1 phase the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA.
II. During G2 phase, proteins are synthesized in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues.

Of the two statements:

1. Only l is correct
2. Only ll is correct
3. Both l and ll are correct
4. Both l and ll are incorrect

The total DNA content of each daughter cell is reduced during meiosis because:

1. Chromosomes do not replicate during the interphase preceding meiosis I
2. Chromosomes do not replicate between meiosis I and II
3. Half of the chromosomes from each gamete are lost during fertilization
4. Chromosome arms are lost during crossing over
