How many times does interphase occur in meiosis?
A
one
B
two
C
three
D
none
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is b. 1.

Detailed explanation-2: -In each round of division, cells go through four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Before entering meiosis I, a cell must first go through interphase. This is the same interphase that occurs before mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase. There are two stages or phases of meiosis: meiosis I and meiosis II. Before a dividing cell enters meiosis, it undergoes a period of growth called interphase. At the end of the meiotic process, four daughter cells are produced.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase doesn’t occur a second time because after the first division of meiosis the cell only contains half the chromosomes necessary to perform its functions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Interphase is defined by three stages: the first gap phase (G1), the synthesis (S) phase, and the second gap (G2) phase.
