INTERKINESIS:

Interkinesis is also known as interphase II that occurs during meiosis, between meiosis I and meiosis II.

No DNA replication takes place during this phase.

Specifically in plants when two daughter cells are produce by the process of meiosis I, immediately they prepare for meiosis II.

During this period nuclear envelope begin to appear for temporary, which is known as interkinesis that helps in the separation of two sets of chromosomes.
