Answer:
Just before meiosis begins, the cell is in interphase in which chromosomes are replicated
Step-by-step explanation:
In the attached picture small beads and centromere are drawn that represent the genes joined together to form the chromosome strand. In interphase, these two chromosomal strands (represent in 2 different colors; blue and pink) are ready to replicate and end up with an identical twin called sister chromatids.
