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.

What event does interkinesis lack compared to premeiotic interphase?
the kinetochores do not connect to the microtubules so the cell goes in to G0 phase in interkinesis as opposed to premeiotic interphase.
What is the period of time between the first and second meiotic divisions?
It is called Interkinesis
Is Interkinesis is the most important process that increases variety in human gametogenesis?
No, interkinesis has nothing to do with genetic variation. The two features of meiosis that increase genetic variation in gametogenesis are (a) crossing over during prophase I, and (b) the independent assortment of chromosomes during anaphase I and anaphase II.
What is the difference between interphase and interkinesis?
The interphase consists of 3 parts: presynthesis [growth 1=G1]- in which proteins are synthesized, synthesis [S] in which the DNA strands are duplicated and postsynthesis [growth 2=G2] in which contractile proteins are synthesized. Interkinesis lacks the S phase because there is no need for a duplication of DNA, as the intent of meiosis is to produce haploid cells.
Following telophase 1 of meiosis there is a period called?
Interkinesis is the period which follows telophase 1 in meiosis. It is similar to interphase but without the replication of chromosomes.

the kinetochores do not connect to the microtubules so the cell goes in to G0 phase in interkinesis as opposed to premeiotic interphase.
What is the period of time between the first and second meiotic divisions?
It is called Interkinesis
Following telophase 1 of meiosis there is a period called which is similar to interphase except no replication of genetic material occurs?
Following telophase I, cells may or may not enter a stage known as interkinesis or interphase II. Interkinesis is similar to interphase I, but with no genetic material duplication.
Does replication occur during interkinesis?
No because the chromosomes are already duplicated No. DNA replication does not occur during interkinesis. Interkinesis is a breif rest period between meiosis I and meiosis II. In some species, daughter cells do not form, and meiosis II follows right after meiosis I. No. Because at this point, the first division of meiosis is complete. The cell now rests for a bit before beginning the second meiotic division. During this period, called interkinesis, the nuclear membrane in each of the two cells reforms around the chromosomes. In some cells, the spindle also disintegrates and the chromosomes relax (although most often, the spindle remains intact).

Interkinesis is the period which follows telophase 1 in meiosis. It is similar to interphase but without the replication of chromosomes.
What is interkinsis?
Interkinesis is the period between the first and second divisions in meiosis. Meiosis is a special type of cell division of genetic material (DNA). Meiosis produces genetic diversity.
Which does not contribute genetic variation?
sexual reproductioncross breedinggene swapping between the pair of chromosomes during meiosisetc.
What is the name of the period between one mitosis and the next?
Interphase, which is further made up of G1 (G:Gap), S (S:Synthesis), G2, and sometimes G0 phases.
During which parts of interphase does DNA replication occur?
No because the chromosomes are already duplicated No. DNA replication does not occur during interkinesis. Interkinesis is a breif rest period between meiosis I and meiosis II. In some species, daughter cells do not form, and meiosis II follows right after meiosis I. No. Because at this point, the first division of meiosis is complete.

In some cells, the spindle also disintegrates and the chromosomes relax (although most often, the spindle remains intact).
The order of steps to mitosis?
PMAT is the way that I learned these and it really helps to use it.Mitosis is simply described as having four stages—prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase; the steps follow one another without interruption.The entire four-stage division process averages about one hour in duration, and the period between cell divisions, called interphase or interkinesis, varies greatly but is considerably longer.
