Is DNA copied before meiosis 2?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the process of DNA replication in relation to meiosis, specifically whether DNA is copied before the second division of meiosis.
Answer
No, DNA is not copied before meiosis II.
The final answer is no, DNA is not copied before meiosis II.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is no, DNA is not copied before meiosis II.
More Information
DNA replication in meiosis occurs only once, during the S phase of interphase before meiosis I. No replication occurs between meiosis I and II. This ensures that meiosis results in four haploid cells, each containing half the number of chromosomes of the original diploid cell.
Tips
A common mistake is assuming DNA replicates before both meiosis I and II. Remember, DNA replication happens once before meiosis I.
