Options
- AA-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I
- BA-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
- CA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- DA-IV, B-III, C-I, D-II
Correct answer
B. A-III, B-IV, C-II, D-I
Step-by-step solution
According to NCERT, during diakinesis, the chromosomes are fully condensed and the meiotic spindle is assembled. Pachytene is characterised by the appearance of recombination nodules, the sites at which crossing over occurs between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Meiosis I is a reductional division where homologous chromosomes separate, reducing the chromosome number to half. Meiosis II is an equational division that resembles normal mitosis, where sister chromatids separate. Answer: A-III, B-IV, C
