Which of the following events occurs during interphase preceding meiosis?
A
Chromosome condensation
B
Separation of homologous chromosomes
C
Formation of the mitotic spindle
D
DNA replication
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that interphase is the preparatory phase of the cell cycle before meiosis begins. It consists of three sub-phases: G1, S, and G2.
Recognize that DNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase. This is when the cell duplicates its genetic material to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
Clarify that chromosome condensation does not occur during interphase. Instead, it happens during prophase of meiosis when chromosomes become visible under a microscope.
Note that the separation of homologous chromosomes occurs during anaphase I of meiosis, not during interphase.
Explain that the formation of the mitotic spindle is a feature of mitosis and meiosis, but it does not occur during interphase. It happens during prophase of meiosis.
