Tristian Ramsey · Answer 1

The correct answer is option A. During the process of meiosis, chromosomes replicate

once, during interphase I.

Explanation: In meiosis division, daughter cells contain half the number of parent chromosomes. So they just replicate once. And also replication is done in interphase I.

Crystal Black · Answer 2

Answer: A) once, during interphase I

Explanation:

Meiosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division which results in four daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

There are two major phases that a cell goes through during meiosis. About 80% of of the total cell division is interphase.

Its during interphase 1 that the cell replicates its chromosomes, where each of the chromosome has a couple of sister chromatids.

Also, the chromosomes replicate only once.
