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

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.
