Question

Choose the correct statement regarding the Interkinesis phase in Meiosis.

• A. It is a phase where there's synthesis of DNA
• B. The cells makes additional energy during this phase
• C. It is a gap phase during which the cell rests before Meiosis II begins.
• D. Is often absent since Meiosis II begins right after Meiosis I.

Answer 1

The correct option is D Is often absent since Meiosis II begins right after Meiosis I.

Interkinesis phase is often absent in Meiosis because the initial stages of the next phase, that is Meiosis II, start right after Meiosis I end therefore leaving no scope for an interkinesis phase to occur.
