Stages of Meiosis ? - Telophase I, Cytokinesis I and Interkinesis
Telophase I
- Two daughter nuclei are formed but the chromosome number is half than the chromosome number of mother cell.
- This phase does not necessarily completes wholly.
- The spindle disappears, but new nuclear envelopes need not form before the onset of meiosis II.
Cytokinesis I
- It may or may not follow the telophase I.
- When it occurs, it forms the dyad of cells.
Interkinesis
- Following cytokinesis I, the cells enter interkinesis.
- It is also known as intermeiotic interphase.
- During this phase, there is no duplication or replication of DNA as the chromosomes are already duplicated.
-
Following cytokinesis I, the cells enter interkinesis. It is also known as intermeiotic interphase.
