Question

What happens in interkinesis?

• A. DNA replication
• B. Chromosome duplication
• C. Preparation of second meiotic division
• D. Resting stage

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Preparation of second meiotic division

Preparation of second meiotic division occurs during interkinesis. 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. However, it does occur during the interphase I stage of meiosis. Each chromosome still consists of two chromatids.

So, the correct answer is option C.
