Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \((ii), (i), (iii), (iv)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(d) : Prophase-I of meiosis has been divided into five sub stages which occur in the sequence as : Leptotene Zygotene Pachytene Diplotene Diakinesis. Synapsis \(i.e.\), pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs during zygotene. Crossing over \(i.e.\), exchange of chromatid segments occurs during pachytene. Terminalisation of chiasmata \(i.e.\), shifting of chiasmata towards the ends of chromosomes and complete disappearance ofnucleolus take place during diakinesis.
