Solution

The correct option is C The karyokinesis skips one of the phases compared to mitosis
The stage of karyokinesis does not skip any phase in mitosis as compared to meiosis because the cell division phases are the same in meiosis and mitosis.
So, the correct option is 'The karyokinesis skips one of the phases compared to mitosis'.
