Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: The pollen can recognize the pistil, whether it is of the right type (compatible) or of the wrong type (incompatible).

1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
3. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is incorrect
