Biology:Interkinesis
From HandWiki
Interkinesis or interphase II is a period of rest that cells of some species enter during meiosis between meiosis I and meiosis II.[1][2] No DNA replication occurs during interkinesis; however, replication does occur during the interphase I stage of meiosis (See meiosis I). During interkinesis, the spindles of the first meiotic division disassembles and the microtubules reassemble into two new spindles for the second meiotic division.[3] Interkinesis follows telophase I; however, many plants skip telophase I and interkinesis, going immediately into prophase II. Each chromosome still consists of two chromatids. In this stage other organelle number may also increase.
