Q. Which of the following statement(s) is/are not correct about meiosis? I. Meiosis involves pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination between them II. Two diploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis-II III. Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division called meiosis-I and meiosis-II, but only a single cycle of DNA replication IV. Meiosis-I is initiated after the parental chromosome replication which produce identical sister chromatids at the S-phase The correct option is
A) I and III
B) II only
C) II and III
D) I, II, III and IV
Explanation
During meiosis, four haploid cells are produced by reductional division from a single diploid cell. Parent cell contains replicated chromosomes, but the daughter cells contains unreplicated chromosomes
