Question

............. is present between meiosis I and meiosis II.

• A. Interphse
• B. Prophase II
• C. Interkinesis
• D. Telophase II

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Interkinesis

Meiosis comprises of two division, meiosis I and meiosis II. The meiosis I occur in following stages prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I and telophase I.

The meiosis II occurs in following stages prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II and telophase II.

Interkinesis or interphase II is a period of rest that cells of some species enter during meiosis, between meiosis I and meiosis II. No DNA replication occurs during Interkinesis. DNA replication occurs during the Interphase I stage of meiosis.

So, the correct answer is option C.
