Match the columns and select the correct option.

$\begin{array}{cccc}& \text{Column-I}& & \text{Column-II}\\ \text{(a)}& \text{Zygotene}& \text{(i)}& \text{Recombination between homologous chromosomes}\\ \text{(b)}& \text{Diplotene}& \text{(ii)}& \text{Formation of synaptonemal complex}\\ \text{(c)}& \text{Pachytene}& \text{(iii)}& \text{Terminalisation of chiasmata}\\ \text{(d)}& \text{Diakinesis}& \text{(iv)}& \text{Chiasmata formation}\end{array}$

• A. (a) - (ii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (iii)
• B. (a) - (iii), (b) - (i), (c) - (ii), (d) - (iv)
• C. (a) - (iv), (b) - (ii), (c) - (iii), (d) - (i)
• D. (a) - (i), (b) - (iv), (c) - (ii), (d) - (iii)

Answer 1

The correct option is A (a) - (ii), (b) - (iv), (c) - (i), (d) - (iii)

Synaptonemal complex forms in zygotene.
Pachytene – Recombination between homologous chromosomes
Diplotene – Chiasmata formation
Diakinesis – Terminalisation of chiasmata
