Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
The stage between two meiotic divisions is called interkinesis and is generally short lived. Here the cell undergoes a period of rest. NO DNA replication and no gene duplication occurs during this stage. Protein and RNA synthesis may occur. It is important for bringing true haploidy in daughter cells.
