Answer:

Interkinesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis i is the first cell division, where the parent cell divides into two cells. Each of these cells undergoes a second division in meiosis ii, to form a total of four daughter cells.

Between meiosis i and ii there is a rest period. This is called interkinesis. No DNA replication occurs in this stage (unlike in interphase). What does happen is that the nuclear envelopes temporarily reform between telophase I of meiosis I and prophase II of meiosis II Not all organisms have the interkinesis stage, some proceed directly to meiosis II after meiosis I
