Yes, Inter phase is considered as part of meiosis.
Explanation:
Normally a cell undergoes division by two methods of cell division namely mitosis and meiosis. While the procedures of mitosis and meiosis have many variations, they are some points of similarities too.
One of the points is that the two procedures have a development period called <em>Inter phase</em>, in which the <em>genetic material</em> as well as the<em> organelles</em> of the cell <em>replicates</em> and moves to next phase of the cell division. Thus interphase is considered as part of meiosis.
Prions, however, are not living organisms. Prions are infectious proteins. For unknown reasons, these proteins refold abnormally and cause a domino effect in surrounding proteins which in turn mutate into stable structures
