Regarding Meiosis, which of the statement(s) is incorrect?

  1. A
    There are two stages in Meiosis, Meiosis-I and II
  2. B
    DNA replication occurs in S phase of Meiosis-II
  3. C
    Pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination occurs in Meiosis-I
  4. D
    Four haploid cells are formed at the end of Meiosis-II

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. Meiosis consists of two sequential cycles. True.2. Incorrect statement: DNA replication occurs only once, during the S phase prior to Meiosis-I. There is no DNA replication between Meiosis-I and Meiosis-II (interkinesis).3. Synapsis and crossing over happen in Prophase-I. True.4. Final result is four haploid daughter cells. True.
