Question

Which is the major difference between interkinesis and interphase?

• A. Only (I) and (II)
• B. Only (II) and (III)
• C. Only (I) and (III)
• D. (I), (II) and (III)

Hint:

\[ \boxed{\text{Interphase = growth + DNA replication}} \] \[ \boxed{\text{Interkinesis = no DNA replication}} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Interphase (before meiosis I or mitosis) includes S phase during which DNA replication occurs, doubling the genetic content of the cell. Interkinesis is the brief interval between meiosis I and meiosis II in which no DNA replication takes place, so the cell enters meiosis II with the same DNA content as at the end of meiosis I.
