Match the following with respect to meiosis: (A) Zygotene - (i) Terminalization (B) Pachytene - (ii) Chiasmata (C) Diplotene - (iii) Crossing over (D) Diakinesis - (iv) Synapsis Select the correct option from the following:

1. (a) (iv) (iii) (ii) (i)
2. (b) (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)
3. (c) (ii) (iv) (iii) (i)
4. (d) (iii) (iv) (i) (ii)

Correct answer: (a) (iv) (iii) (ii) (i)

Solution

In zygotene, homologous chromosomes undergo synapsis. Pachytene is when crossing over occurs, diplotene shows chiasmata, and diakinesis is marked by terminalization of chiasmata.
