Regarding meiosis, which of the statements is incorrect?

Regarding meiosis, which of the statements is incorrect?
  1. DNA replication occurs in S phase of meiosis-II
  2. Pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination occurs in meiosis-I
  3. Four haploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis-II
  4. There are two stages in meiosis, meiosis-I and II

Solution

In meiosis there are two consecutive cell division events without intervening G1, S and G2 phases between meiosis I and meiosis II.

So, there is no S phase before meiosis II and no DNA replication will happen before meiosis II.
