Consider the given two statements:

I. Morphology of chromosomes is best studied at metaphase
II. At this stage, a chromosome is made up of two sister chromatids, held together at the centromere

1. Both I and II are true and II explains I

2. Both I and II are true but II does not explain I

3. I is true but II is false

4. I is false but II is true
