Detailed explanation-1: -After meiosis I, DNA replication does not need to occur after meiosis I, as replication has already occurred before meiosis I. This is why interphase II does not include an S phase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Interphase. Meiosis is preceded by an interphase which is nearly identical to the interphase preceding mitosis. During interphase, the DNA of the chromosomes is replicated (during S phase).
Detailed explanation-3: -The cell undergoes two divisions in meiosis i.e. meiosis I and meiosis II. Meiosis I is reduction division and meiosis II is similar to mitosis but DNA replicates only once during meiosis, i.e. before meiosis I in S phase.
Detailed explanation-4: -Meiosis, divided into meiosis I and meiosis II, is a process in which a diploid cell divides itself into four haploid cells. Note that meiosis II immediately follows meiosis I; DNA replication does not occur after meiosis I.
Detailed explanation-5: -Different products are formed by these phases, although the basic principles of each are the same. Also, meiosis I is preceded in interphase by both G phase and S phase, while meiosis II is only preceded by S phase: chromosomal replication is not necessary again.
