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.

Consider the following two statements:

I: Plant cells undergo cytokinesis in a different manner than the animal cells.
II: Plant cells are enclosed by a relatively inextensible cell wall.

Of the two statements:

1. Both I and II are correct and II explains I
2. Both I and II are correct but II does not explain I
3. I is correct but II is incorrect
4. I is incorrect but II is correct

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
