In meiosis crossing over is initiated at
- A zygotene
- B diplotene
- C pachytene
- D leptotene
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) pachytene
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(c) : Crossing over is a process of exchange of genetic material or chromatid segments between two homologous chromosomes. It is initiated during pachytene stage of meiosis.
