NEETBotanyCell Cycle and Cell Division
What is the outcome of Telophase I in meiotic division?
Options
- AThe chromosomes align on the equatorial plate
- BThe dyad of cells
- CThe homologous chromosomes separate
- DThe replication of DNA occurs
Correct answer
B. The dyad of cells
Step-by-step solution
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. he 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.
