Question

During the process of meiosis, chromosomes replicate A) once, during interphase I. Eliminate B) once, during interphase II. C) twice, during prophase I and II. D) twice, during interphase I and II.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) once, during interphase I

Although meiosis has two phases, the chromosome replicate only once during interphase I. The DNA material replicates and cell builds up enough energy stores to drive the process through. Other events that occur during interphase are formation of new organelles including centrioles.
