    Which of the following is not a characteristic of meiosis?

    A)  It involves two stages of DNA replication one before meiosis-I and another before meiosis-II.

    B)  It involves recombination and crossing over.

    C)  Sister chromatids separate during ana-phase-II.

    D)  Nuclear membrane disappears during prophase.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Chromosome replication occurs once but meiosis has two M-phases each with its own karyokinesis and cytokinesis. As a result chromosome number is halved. The transition period between M-phase I (meiosis I) and M-phase II (meiosis II) is short and without DNA replication. It is called interkinesis.
