Question

for meiosis, dna replication occurs
select one:
a. during prophase i and prophase ii
b. during interkinesis
c. during prophase i
d. during interphase preceding meiosis i.

Explanation:

Meiosis consists of two divisions (Meiosis I and Meiosis II). DNA replication only happens once, during the S phase of interphase before Meiosis I starts. Prophase I/II involve chromosome pairing and condensation, not replication. Interkinesis (between Meiosis I and II) lacks DNA replication to avoid doubling chromosomes again.

Answer:

d. during interphase preceding meiosis I.
