Does replication of DNA occur during Interkinesis?
Options
- AYes
- BNo
- CMay be
- DCannot be determined.
Correct answer
B. No
Step-by-step solution
Telophase I: The nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear, cytokinesis follows and this is called as dyad of cells Although in many cases the chromosomes do undergo some dispersion, they do not reach the extremely extended state of the interphase nucleus.The stage between the two meiotic divisions is called interkinesis and is generally short lived. There is no replication of DNA during interkinesis. Interkinesis is followed by prophase II, a much simpler prophase than prophase I.
