Identify the wrong statement about meiosis.

1. Pairing of homologous chromosomes
2. Four haploid cells are formed
3. At the end of meiosis number of chromosomes are reduced to half
4. Two cycle of DNA replication occur

Correct answer: Two cycle of DNA replication occur

Solution

The wrong statement is that two cycles of DNA replication occur. In meiosis, DNA replicates only once during interphase before meiosis I, and there is no replication between meiosis I and meiosis II. The other statements describe normal meiotic events.
