Regarding meiosis, which of the statements is incorrect?
Options
- ADNA replication occurs in S phase of meiosis-II
- BPairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination occurs in meiosis-I
- CFour haploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis-II
- DThere are two stages in meiosis, meiosis-I and II
Correct answer
A. DNA replication occurs in S phase of meiosis-II
Step-by-step solution
In meiosis there are two consecutive cell division events without intervening G1, S and G2 phases between meiosis I and meiosis II.
So, there is no S phase before meiosis II and no DNA replication will happen before meiosis II.
