The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of marking the incorrect statements regarding meiosis, let's analyze each statement step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Statement A: Meiosis involves only a single cycle of DNA replication.** - In meiosis, there is indeed only one cycle of DNA replication that occurs during the S phase of interphase before meiosis begins. Therefore, this statement is **correct**. 2. **Statement B: Four haploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis-I.** - This statement is **incorrect**. At the end of meiosis I, two haploid cells are formed, not four. The four haploid cells are produced at the end of meiosis II. 3. **Statement C: Meiosis occurs in diploid cells.** - This statement is **correct**. Meiosis occurs in diploid cells, which undergo division to produce haploid gametes. 4. **Statement D: In yeast, the cell cycle takes about 90 minutes.** - This statement is also **correct**. In yeast, the cell cycle is relatively short, typically around 90 minutes. ### Summary of Findings: - **Correct Statements**: A, C, D - **Incorrect Statement**: B ### Final Answer: The incorrect statement is **B**: "Four haploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis-I." ---
