Why is there no interphase between Meiosis I and Meiosis II?

Answer 1

William Albracht

First of all, keep in mind that interphase is a phase connected to growth and DNA replication.

Once meiosis commences, replication and growth are no longer necessary because the goal is to create a haploid gamete.

Consequently, there is no interphase between meiosis I and meiosis II.

There is no interphase between Meiosis I and Meiosis II because the purpose of meiosis is to reduce the chromosome number by half. Interphase is the stage of the cell cycle where DNA replication occurs, resulting in the duplication of chromosomes. Since the goal of meiosis is to halve the chromosome number, there is no need for an interphase between the two divisions.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
