  1. A Synapsis → Crossing over → Chiasmata → Terminalisation
  2. B Crossing over → Synapsis → Chiasmata → Terminalisation
  3. C Chiasmata → Synapsis → Crossing over →Terminalisation
  4. D Chiasmata → Crossing over → Synapsis → Terminalisation
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Synapsis → Crossing over → Chiasmata → Terminalisation

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A) Synapsis → Crossing over → Chiasmata → Terminalisation,
Prophase of meiosis I is divided ino 5 phases which include leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene and diakinesis.
Synapsis occurs during the second stage of prophase I called zygotene. In pachytene, crossing over (exchange of genetic material) takes place between non sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. Chiasmata are formed during diplotene. In Diakinesis, the final stage of meiosis I, the terminal is action of chiasmata occurs.
