• B. A-II, B-I, C-III, D-IV
• C. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV
• D. A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

A. Chiasmata formation: Chiasmata, the points where homologous chromosomes cross over, become visible during Diplotene. A-III

B. Crossing over: Crossing over, the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, occurs during Pachytene. B-I

C. Synaptonemal complex formation: The synaptonemal complex, a protein structure that facilitates homologous chromosome pairing, forms during Zygotene. C-IV

D. Terminalisation of chiasmata: Terminalisation, the movement of chiasmata towards the ends of the chromosomes, occurs during Diakinesis. D-II
