The correct Answer is:
To analyze the assertion and reason provided in the question, we will break down the statements and evaluate their validity step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Assertion**: - The assertion states that "Both meiosis-I and meiosis-II are always interrupted by interkinesis." - **Evaluation**: This statement is incorrect. Interkinesis occurs only between meiosis I and meiosis II, not during meiosis II itself. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that both meiosis I and meiosis II are interrupted by interkinesis. 2. **Understanding the Reason**: - The reason states that "Interkinesis is the preparatory phase in which all essential proteins and nucleic acid is to be synthesized." - **Evaluation**: This statement is also incorrect. Interkinesis is a resting phase where no DNA replication occurs, and thus, essential proteins and nucleic acids are not synthesized during this time. It is a period of rest rather than an active preparatory phase. 3. **Conclusion**: - Since both the assertion and the reason are false, we can conclude that the correct answer is that both the assertion and reason are false. ### Final Answer: Both assertion and reason are false. ---

Assertion: Reduction division occurs in anaphase-I. So there is no need of meiosis. Reason: Meiosis-II occurs to separate homologous chromosomes.

Interkinesis lies between two mitotic division/meiosis-I and meiosis-II.

Assertion : Replication of DNA not occurs during interkinesis. Reason : Divison of chromosomes takes place during meiosis-II.

Assertion : Daughter cell producted by meiosis are haploid. Reason : In meiosis, there is no DNA replication between meiosis -I and meiosis -II.

Assertion- Meiosis-II is similar to mitosis. Reason- Meiosis-I cannot occur in haploid cells.
