Given below are two statements:
Statement I: A single human cell has approximately a two-meter-long thread of DNA distributed among its haploid set of chromosomes.
Statement II: The outer membrane of nucleus usually remains continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum and also bears ribosomes on it, but at a number of places the nuclear envelope is interrupted by minute pores, which are formed by the fusion of its two membranes.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
