I: | are small disc-shaped structures at the surface of the centromeres. |
II: | serve as the sites of attachment of spindle fibres to the chromosomes. |
III: | are same as centromeres. |
Statement I: | Centromeres split and chromatids separate. |

4. | Statement I is incorrect and Statement II is correct. |
I: | In an animal cell, cytokinesis is achieved by the appearance of a furrow in the plasma membrane. |
II: | In plant cells, wall formation starts in the centre of the cell and grows outward to meet the existing lateral walls. |
III: | At the time of cytoplasmic division, organelles like mitochondria and plastids get distributed between the two daughter cells. |

Assertion (A): | Meiosis is the mechanism by which conservation of specific chromosome number of each species is achieved across generations in sexually reproducing organisms. |
Reason (R): | Meiosis results in reduction of chromosome number by half in gametes. |
