Consider the following statements regarding inbreeding in animal husbandry:

I. Inbreeding refers to the mating of more closely related individuals within the same breed for 4-6 generations.
II. Inbreeding increases homozygosity and is necessary if we want to evolve a pure line in any animal.
III. Inbreeding exposes harmful recessive genes that are eliminated by selection and helps in the accumulation of superior genes.
IV. Continued inbreeding usually reduces fertility and even productivity, called inbreeding depression, which can be overcome by mating selected animals of the breeding population with unrelated superior animals of the same breed.

The correct statements are:

1. I, II and III only 2. II, III and IV only
3. I, II and IV only 4. I, II, III and IV

III. High aspartic acid, low nitrogen and sugar content in maize lead to resistance to maize stem borers.
