Identify the incorrect statement regarding the cell cycle of a typical eukaryotic cell:
1. The interphase lasts more than 95% of the duration of the cell cycle.
2. M phase starts with the nuclear division.
3. Interphase is the resting stage in the cell cycle where the cell is metabolically inactive.
4. Neurons in human body are permanently in G0 phase of the cell cycle.

The stage between the two meiotic divisions is called:
1. interkinesis and there is no replication of DNA during this stage.
2. interkinesis and there is replication of DNA during this stage.
3. interphase II and there is no replication of DNA during this stage.
4. interphase II and there is replication of DNA during this stage.

Consider the given two statements:
Assertion (A): Meiosis is the mechanism by which conservation of specific chromosome number of each species is achieved across generations in sexually reproducing organisms.
Reason (R): Cells in G0 stage no longer remain metabolically active and no longer proliferate unless called on to do so depending on the requirement of the organism.   
  
1. (A) is True; (R) is False
2. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) correctly explains (A)
3. Both (A) and (R) ​​​​​​​ are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A)
4. (A) is False; (R) ​​​​​​​is True
