Question

What happens to DNA replication during interkinesis?

Answer 1

Interkinesis:

1. Interkinesis or Interphase II is the period of rest that occurs between the two-phase I of meiosis I and the prophase II of meiosis II.
2. It is the resting period for the cells of divisions before they undergo the stage of meiosis II.
3. No DNA replication occurs during the Interkinesis or Interphase II.
4. There is only one of the spindles of the first meiotic division during the Interkinesis of the division of meiosis I disassemble.
5. While there occurs the re-assembling of the microtubules into two new spindles for the second division of the meiosis.
6. Interkinesis or Interphase II follows by the prophase II.
