Solution
The correct option is D I and III only Mitosis is an equational type of cell division where only one cell division occurs. Two diploid cells are formed from parent diploid cell. Meiosis is divided into meiosis I and meiosis II. It involves the reductional division in which four haploid cells formed from the diploid parent cell. DNA replication takes place in the interphase in meiosis as well as in mitosis.
Thus, the correct answer is option 'I and III only'.
