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.
d. twice, during interphase I and II.

Answer 1

In meiosis and mitosis, chromosomes only replicate once during the first interphase hence answer is a

Answer 2

a. once, during interphase I

Step-by-step explanation:

During the process of meiosis, chromosomes replicate once, during interphase I.
