Consider the following key events:
I: Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles and their identity is lost as discrete elements.
II: Nucleolus, Golgi complex and ER reform
The stage of mitosis characterized by these key events is:
1. Prophase         2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase         4. Telophase

Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: At Metaphase I the chromosomes align at the equator and the microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle get attached to the kinetochores of sister chromatids.
Statement II: At metaphase II the bivalent chromosomes align on the equatorial plate and microtubules from the opposite poles of the spindle attach to the kinetochore of homologous chromosomes.
 
1. Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
2. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is incorrect.
3. Statement I is correct and Statement II is correct.
4. Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct.

Identify the incorrect statement regarding diakinesis of prophase I of meiosis I:
1. It is the final stage of meiotic prophase I.
2. It is marked by terminalisation of chiasmata.
3. During this phase, the meiotic spindle is assembled to prepare the homologous
chromosomes for separation.
4. By the end of diakinesis, the nucleolus reappears and the nuclear envelope also reappears.
