In plant cell division, the formation of the new cell wall begins with the formation of a simple precursor called:
1. the cell plate that represents the middle lamella
2. the cell plate that represents the primary cell wall
3. the cleavage furrow that represents the middle lamella
4. the contractile ring that represents the primary cell wall

Consider the given two statements:

I. The kinetochore is essential for the chromosome segregation that is classically associated with mitosis and meiosis.
II. The kinetochore assembles on the centromere and links the chromosome to microtubule polymers from the mitotic spindle during mitosis and meiosis.

1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct and II is incorrect
4. Both I and II are incorrect
