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

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

Identify the correct statement regarding meiosis amongst the following:

I: Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell divisions but only a single cycle of DNA replication.
II: Meiosis II is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated to produce identical sister chromatids at the S phase.
III: Meiosis involves pairing of bivalents and recombinations between them.
