The point of contact between paired chromatids during meiosis, resulting in a cross-shaped configuration and representing the cytological manifestation of crossing over is called:

Organisms prefer sexual mode of reproduction in adverse conditions because:
1. | It leads to a rapid proliferation of numbers |
2. | It requires two individuals that can support the progeny |
3. | It is less energy consuming than the asexual mode of reproduction |
4. | It provides protection and increases variations that may help progeny to survive |

II: | Plant cells are enclosed by a relatively inextensible cell wall. |
Of the two statements:
1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct
