Interkinesis or interphase II is a period of rest that cells enter during meiosis. It is the abbreviated interphase that occurs between meiosis I and II. No DNA replication occurs during this stage of Meiosis. Many plants skip telophase I and interkinesis, going immediately into prophase II. Each chromosome is still composed of two chromatids.
