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.

G1 phase in a cell cycle:
I: corresponds to the interval between initiation of mitosis and DNA replication.
II: is characterised by a metabolically active cell that grows continuously and replicates its DNA.
1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect

Karyokinesis involves four stages that are chronologically [beginning at the earliest] arranged as:
1. Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase
2. Telophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Prophase
3. Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase
4. Telophase → Anaphase → Metaphase → Prophase

In contrast to meiosis I, meiosis II:
1. is much lengthy in duration.
2. leads to reduction in the number of chromosomes.
3. is characterised by replication of DNA just before its beginning.
4. resembles a normal mitosis.
