Identify the wrong statement about meiosis
a. The pairing of homologous chromosomes

b. Four haploid cells are formed

c. At the end of meiosis, the number of chromosomes is reduced to half

d. Two-cycle of DNA replication occurs

Solution: Meiosis is a type of cell division in which the number of chromosomes is cut in half, resulting in four haploid cells. DNA replication is followed by two rounds of cell division in meiosis, resulting in four daughter cells, each having half as many chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis I and Meiosis II are the two meiotic divisions.

So, the correct option is ‘two cycles of DNA replication occur’.
