What Is Interkinesis?

Solution

Interkinesis:

  1. Interkinesis, also known as interphase II, is a period of rest that certain species' cells experience between meiosis I and meiosis II.
  2. During interkinesis, no DNA replication occurs; nevertheless, replication occurs during the interphase I stage of meiosis.
  3. The DNA is copied at this step, resulting in the formation of chromosomes, which are made up of two sister chromatids.
  4. Interkinesis is a second growth phase that occurs between the two divisions of meiosis I and meiosis II. At this point, there will be no DNA replication.
