    DNA replicates before a cell divides to give a complete set of genetic instructions to each daughter cell. Semiconservative replication means that only one strand of DNA molecule is newly formed. The other stand is original DNA from the parent cell.

    Explanation:

    First thing to remember is that interphase is a stage associated with replication of DNA, and growth. Once meiosis starts, the purpose is to produce a haploid gamete. So there is no further need of replication or growth. Hence between meiosis I and meiosis II, there is no interphase.
