a mutation can happen.
DNA is copied.
DNA Replication. Before meiosis actually begins, the DNA that is packaged into chromosomes must be fully copied. Previous to replication, a germ cell contains two copies of each chromosome, a maternal copy, and a paternal copy
Deletion: Part of a chromosome is missing. Duplication: A segment of a chromosome is copied multiple times. Inversion: A segment of a chromosome is reversed in orientation. Translocation: Part of a chromosome breaks off and attaches to another chromosome.
Chromosomes replicate during the S phase of interphase, before meiosis begins. This ensures that each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids, which are then separated during the meiotic divisions to produce haploid cells.
It is called meiosis. During meiosis, cells undergo two rounds of division resulting in cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. This process is important for sexual reproduction in eukaryotic organisms.

DNA is copied in meiosis 1.
No, replication only takes place in the S phase of Interphase. Although, a brief interphase exists between Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2, there is no S-phase in this case. Hence, no replication takes place between meiosis 1 and 2.

it is called a sister chromosome :)
