Meiosis is a reductional division that results in the formation of four daughter cells from the parent cell.
Meiosis includes meiosis-I and meiosis-II occurring sequentially.
The stage between meiosis-I and meiosis-II is called interkinesis.
During interkinesis, the proteins needed for meiosis-II replenish.
Interkinesis is followed by prophase-II.
In interphase, the cell undergoes preparations to divide and the DNA replication occurs during interphase.
The cell undergoes division during M phase.
The cells that no longer divide enter into a quiescent or inactive stage called as G 0 phase.
