Dear Student
 

Correct option is (2)

During meiosis, DNA replicates only once but cell divides twice.
 

• Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs only in the reproductive cells. That is why it is termed as germ cell division.
• In meiosis, the daughter cells will carry half the number of chromosomes (haploid – n) when compared to the genetic material of the parent cell (diploid -2n). Hence, meiosis is also known as reduction division.
• It occurs during the formation of gametes in animals and spores in higher plants.
• In meiosis, the nucleus divides twice and it has two stages. They are Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
