When synapsis is complete all along the chromosome, the cell is said to have entered a stage called

Options

  1. Azygotene
  2. Bpachytene
  3. Cdiplotene
  4. Ddiakinesis.

Correct answer

B. pachytene

Step-by-step solution

The synapsis, pairing of homologous chromosomes takes place during zygotene. Synapsis results in the formation of bivalents during zygotene. The formation of special proteinaceous structure called synaptonemal complex occur. After zygotene stage cell entered in pachytene stage in which the bivalents become spiralled, shortened and thickened.
