Read the following statements and choose the correct option: 1. Recombination between homologous chromosomes is completed by the end of Pachytene, leaving the chromosomes linked at the sites of crossing over. 2. In oocytes of some vertebrates, diplotene can last for months or years. 3. Diplotene represents transition to metaphase. 4. The beginning of diplotene is recognised by the dissolution of the synaptonemal comp

Step-by-step solution

Recombination between homologous chromosomes is completed by the end of Pachytene, leaving the chromosomes linked at the sites of crossing over. In oocytes of some vertebrates, diplotene can last for months or years. Diakinesis represents transition to metaphase.,Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between two homologous chromosomes. Crossing over is also an enzyme-mediated process and the enzyme involved is called recombinase. Crossing over leads to recombination of genetic material on the two chromo
