Consider the given two statements:

I: Meiosis is responsible for maintaining the chromosome number across generations in sexually reproducing organisms.
II: Meiosis results in reduction of chromosome number by half in the daughter cells.
 
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
