Multiple Choice
In meiosis, how many times is prophase carried out?
A
Three times (once in each division plus once before meiosis begins)
B
Four times (once for each haploid cell produced)
C
One time (only in meiosis I)
D
Two times (once in meiosis I and once in meiosis II)
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that meiosis consists of two successive cell divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II.
Recall that each division in meiosis has its own prophase stage, where chromosomes condense and important processes like crossing over occur in meiosis I.
Identify that prophase I is the first prophase stage occurring before the first meiotic division, involving homologous chromosome pairing and recombination.
Recognize that prophase II is the second prophase stage occurring before the second meiotic division, where chromosomes condense again but without pairing or crossing over.
Conclude that prophase is carried out twice during meiosis: once in meiosis I and once in meiosis II.
