Find the correct statement

a) Homologous chromosomes form pairs during mitosis

b) Chromosomes do not duplicate in the interphase preceding meiosis

c) Homologous chromosomes form pairs during meiosis but not mitosis

Answer-

b) Chromosomes do not duplicate in the interphase preceding meiosis.

In some species, cells enter a brief interphase, or interkinesis, before entering meiosis II. Interkinesis lacks an S phase, so chromosomes are not duplicated. The two cells produced in meiosis I go through the events of meiosis II in synchrony.
