Observe the given diagram showing a specific stage of meiotic cell division. Match List I (relative stages of this division) with List II (characteristic features) based on the diagram: List I List II A Stage shown in the diagram I Bivalent chromosomes align on the equatorial plate B Stage preceding the diagram II Formation of dyad of cells C Stage succeeding the diagram III Crossing over between non-sister chromatid

Step-by-step solution

Based on the given diagram, homologous chromosomes are separating and moving towards opposite poles while sister chromatids remain associated at their centromeres. This is the characteristic feature of Anaphase I of meiosis. A. Stage shown in the diagram is Anaphase I. Its characteristic feature is that homologous chromosomes separate, but sister chromatids remain associated. (A IV) B. The stage preceding Anaphase I is Metaphase I. In this stage, bivalent chromosomes align on the equatorial plate. (B I) C. The stag
