The interphase of meiosis lacks:
Correct answer: C. G2 stage
- A. G1 stage
- B. G0 stage
- C. G2 stage
- D. S phase
Explanation
Meiosis, which is the process of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and eggs), does not have a G2 phase during interphase. Instead, it goes through a single round of DNA replication during the S phase and then proceeds directly to the first division (meiosis I) without entering G2 phase. This unique feature of meiosis helps ensure that the chromosome number is halved in the resulting gametes. So, in meiosis, there is no G2 phase in interphase.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
