Organisms prefer sexual mode of reproduction in adverse conditions because:

1. It leads to a rapid proliferation of numbers
2. It requires two individuals that can support the progeny
3. It is less energy consuming than the asexual mode of reproduction
4. It provides protection and increases variations that may help progeny to survive

The most important significance of meiosis is that:
1. It increases variations in the gene pool of the species that helps in evolution of that species.
2. It causes growth in the multicellular organisms.
3. It conserves specific number of chromosomes in each species across generations.
4. It is vital for repair and regeneration functions in the living organisms.

Consider the following statements regarding meiosis:

I: At metaphase I, the microtubules from the opposite poles of the spindle attach to the pair of homologous chromosomes.
II: At anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes separate, while sister chromatids remain associated with each other.

Of the two statements:

1. Only I is correct
2. Only II is correct
3. Both I and II are correct
4. Both I and II are incorrect
