Does meiosis involve a single cycle of DNA replication?
Options
- AYes
- BNo
- CMay be
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
A. Yes
Step-by-step solution
This leads to the formation of haploid gametes. The key features of meiosis are as follows: Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division called meiosis I and meiosis II but only a single cycle of DNA replication. Meiosis I is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated to produce identical sister chromatids at the S phase. Meiosis involves pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
