Vedclass · Answer

(D) Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half,resulting in the production of haploid daughter cells.It involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division,known as Meiosis-$I$ and Meiosis-$II$.However,these two divisions are preceded by only a single cycle of $DNA$ replication during the $S$-phase of interphase.Therefore,the correct description is two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division but only a single cycle of $DNA$ replication.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$a$. Zygotene	$i$. Terminalization
$b$. Pachytene	$ii$. Chiasmata
$c$. Diplotene	$iii$. Crossing over
$d$. Diakinesis	$iv$. Synapsis
