What happens to the static fields of a class during serialization

Question :What happens to the static fields of a class during serialization?
Answer :There are three exceptions in which serialization doesnot necessarily read and write to the stream. These are 1. Serialization ignores static fields, because they are not part of ay particular state state. 2. Base class fields are only hendled if the base class itself is serializable. 3. Transient fields.
