Question

Match the description (given in column I) with correct stage of prophase I (given column II) and choose the correct option.

	Column- I		Column- II
A.	Chromosomes are moved to spindle equator	I.	Pachytene
B.	Centromere splits and chromatids move apart	II.	Zygotene
C.	Pairing between homologous chromosomes takes place	III.	Anaphase
D.	Crossing between homologous chromosomes	IV.	Metaphase

• A. A – I; B – II; C – III; D – IV
• B. A – II; B – III; C – IV; D – I
• C. A – IV; B – III; C – II; D – I
• D. A – III; B – I; C – IV; D – II

Answer 1

The correct option is C A – IV; B – III; C – II; D – I

Events that takes place during prophase I of meiosis are-
Pachytene- thickening and crossing between homologous chromosomes takes place.
Zygotene- pairing between homologous chromosomes takes place.
Anaphase-centromere splits and chromatids move apart.
Metaphase- chromosomes moved to spindle equator.
So, the correct answer is option 'c'.
