Regarding Meiosis, which of the statement is incorrect?

A

Four haploid cells are formed at the end of Meiosis-II.

B

There are two stages in Meiosis, Meiosis-I and II.

C

DNA replication occurs in S phase of Meiosis-II.

D

Pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination occurs in Meiosis-I.

Step-by-Step Solution

Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division (Meiosis I and II) but only a single cycle of DNA replication . This replication occurs during the S phase of the interphase preceding Meiosis I . The text explicitly states that during interkinesis (the stage between Meiosis I and Meiosis II), "There is no replication of DNA" . Therefore, the statement claiming DNA replication occurs in Meiosis-II is incorrect.
