Mark the correct statement:

1. The stage between two successive meiotic division is generally long lived
2. In plant cells, wall formation starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls
3. Meiosis results in conservation of specific chromosomes number of each species across generations in asexually reproducing organisms
4. Telophase - I can last for months or year
