Consider the two statements:
Statement I: The interphase represents the phase between two successive M phases and DNA replication takes place in the interphase.
Statement II: The stage between the two meiotic divisions is called interkinesis and there is no replication of DNA during interkinesis.
 
1. Statement I is correct; Statement II is correct
2. Statement I is correct; Statement II is incorrect
