Consider the following key events:

I: Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles and their identity is lost as discrete elements.
II: Nucleolus, Golgi complex and ER reform.

The stage of mitosis characterized by these key events is:

1. Prophase 2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase 4. Telophase

Consider the following statements regarding meiosis:
I. At metaphase I, the microtubules from the opposite poles of the spindle attach to the pair of homologous chromosomes.
II. At anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes separate, while sister chromatids remain associated with each other.

Of the two statements:

1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
