Question

Chromosome replicate in which stage of meiosis?

• A. Prophase I
• B. Prophase II
• C. Telophase I
• D. Interphase

Answer 1

The correct option is D Interphase

Interphase is divided into three phases, G${}_1$ (first gap), S (synthesis), and G${}_2$ (second gap). During all three phases, the cell grows by producing proteins and cytoplasmic organelles. However, chromosomes are replicated only during the S phase. It is the preparatory phase for the cell before cell division.

So, the correct answer is option D.
