Question

The stage which serves as a connecting link between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2

• A. Interphase 2
• B. Interphase 1
• C. Interkineses
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Interkineses

• 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.
