Consider the given two statements:
Statement I: Meiosis is the mechanism by which conservation of specific chromosome number of each species is achieved across generations in sexually reproducing organisms.
Statement II: Meiosis results in reduction of chromosome number by half.
 
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct; Statement II does not explain Statement I.
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct; Statement II explains Statement I.
3. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
4. Statement I is incorrect; Statement II is correct

Consider the given two statements:
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 leads to the formation of gametes or spores and the gamete and the spores are haploid.
