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.

Regarding out-breeding, the number of correct statements is:

I. Out-crossing is the practice of mating of animals within the same breed, but having no common ancestors on either side of their pedigree up to 4-6 generations.
II. Out-crossing is the best breeding method for animals that are below average in productivity in milk production, growth rate in beef cattle, etc.
III. A single outcross often helps to overcome inbreeding depression.
IV. In cross-breeding superior males of one breed are mated with superior females of another breed.
V. Cross-breeding allows the desirable qualities of two different breeds to be combined.
