Insect resistance in host crop plants may be due to morphological, biochemical, or physiological characteristics. Identify the correct statements:

I: Hairy leaves in several plants are associated with resistance to jassids in cotton and cereal leaf beetle in wheat.
II: In wheat, solid stems lead to non-preference by the stem sawfly and smooth-leaved and nectar-less cotton varieties do not attract bollworms.
III. High aspartic acid, low nitrogen and sugar content in maize lead to resistance to maize stem borers.

The plantlets produced during plant tissue culture are called somaclones because:

1. They can be produced in a very short span of time
2. They are the result of the somatic hybridization of two cells
3. The gametes develop parthenogenetically to produce genetically identical plantlets
4. They are genetically identical to the original plant from which they were grown
