Interkinesis
Interkinesis is similar to interphase except DNA synthesis does not occur.
The events that occur during meiosis II are similar to mitosis.
Interkinesis
Meiosis II
Chromatid
The term which McClung (1900) proposed for each of the four threads making up a chromosome-pair at meiosis (Gk. chroma, colour; for the derivation of '-id', see diploid).
Interkinesis
Meiosis II
Chromosome
The term was proposed by Waldeyer (1888) for the individual threads within a cell nucleus (gk. chroma, colour; soma, body).
interkinesis The activities occurring between meiosis I and meiosis II; similar to interphase but without chromosome replication.
Cells enter a period of rest known as interkinesis or interphase II. No DNA replication occurs during this stage. Note that many plants skip telophase I and interphase II, going immediately into prophase II.
