Question

During the process of meiosis, chromosomes replicate

A) once, during interphase I.

B) once, during interphase II.

C) twice, during prophase I and II.
Eliminate

D) twice, during interphase I and II.

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. During the process of meiosis, chromosomes replicate

once, during interphase I.

Step-by-step explanation:

• In meiosis division, daughter cells contain half the number of parent chromosomes.
• So they just replicate once.
• And also replication is done in interphase I.

Answer 2

Answer: A) once, during interphase I

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division which results in four daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

There are two major phases that a cell goes through during meiosis. About 80% of of the total cell division is interphase.

Its during interphase 1 that the cell replicates its chromosomes, where each of the chromosome has a couple of sister chromatids.

Also, the chromosomes replicate only once.
