Question

select from the following list of statements all of the ways in which meiosis ii differs from meiosis i. check all that apply interkinesis doesnt involve the replication of chromosomes, whereas interphase does. crossing - over doesnt occur in prophase ii, whereas it does in prophase i. cells in meiosis ii are haploid and cells in meiosis i are diploid.

Explanation:

1. Interkinesis is the period between meiosis I and meiosis II. Unlike interphase before meiosis I, it lacks chromosome - replication.
2. Crossing - over, which is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, occurs in prophase I of meiosis I but not in prophase II of meiosis II.
3. After meiosis I, the cells are haploid, and they remain haploid during meiosis II, while cells start as diploid in meiosis I.

Answer:

All of the above statements are correct ways in which meiosis II differs from meiosis I. So the checked options would be:

• Interkinesis doesn't involve the replication of chromosomes, whereas interphase does.
• Crossing - over doesn't occur in prophase II, whereas it does in prophase I.
• Cells in meiosis II are haploid and cells in meiosis I are diploid.
