Differences between interphase and interkinesis
Answers
The interphase is a period in the meiosis (as well as mitosis) when the chromosome doubles. ie., DNA replication takes place. Interkinesis is a period between telophase I and prophase II where no DNA replication takes place. Some changes like the reformation of nuclear envelope occurs.
Answer:
Interphase = Inter-mitosis
Interkinesis = Intra-meiotic interphase
Explanation:
Interphase is a series of changes ( like growth of cell, duplication of organelles, replication of chromosomes etc.) that takes place in a cell and its nucleus to prepare for cell division. You can say that it's a phase between cytokinesis and actual mitosis. A newly divided cell goes into interphase before it can start dividing again.
Interkinesis is a similar metabolic stage between meiosis I and meiosis II. It takes place when the telophase I is over and prophase II is about to start. A cell goes to interkinesis stage after it has completed the first division of meiosis.
Another notable difference is that, in interphase, DNA replicates, but in interkinesis, there is no DNA synthesis in order to maintain the haploidy of the daughter cells of meiosis.
