Given below is the representation of a certain event at a particular stage of a type of cell division. Which is this stage?

1. Prophase I during meiosis
2. Prophase II during meiosis
3. Prophase of Mitosis
4. Both prophase and metaphase of mitosis

Correct answer: Prophase I during meiosis

Solution

Prophase I of meiosis is the stage where homologous chromosomes pair (synapsis) and crossing over occurs, creating visible chiasmata. These features do not occur in prophase II or in mitotic prophase.
