Consider the following two statements:
I. The growth of multi-cellular organisms is due to mitosis.
II. Mitosis results in the production of diploid daughter cells with identical genetic complement usually.

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

A cell at telophase stage is observed by a student in a plant brought from the field. He tells his teacher that this cell is not like other cells at telophase stage. There is no formation of cell plate and thus the cell is containing more number of chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This would result in

1. Polyteny 2. Aneuploidy
3. Polyploidy 4. Somaclonal variation
