(a)	Zygotene	(i)	Condensation of chromatin begins
(b)	Leptotene	(ii)	Dissolution of synaptonemal complex
(c)	Diplotene	(iii)	Synapsis
(d)	Diakinesis	(iv)	Terminalisation of chiasmata

• A. (a) (b) (c) (d)
  (iii) (ii) (i) (iv)
• B. (a) (b) (c) (d)
  (iv) (iii) (i) (ii)

  (i) (iii) (iv) (ii)

Answer 1

The correct option is C (a) (b) (c) (d)

(iii) (i) (ii) (iv)

• Leptotene $\to$ Condensation of chromatin begins
• Zygotene $\to$ Synapsis of homologous chromosomes
• Diplotene $\to$ Dissolution of synaptonemal complex occurs
• Diakinesis $\to$ Terminalisation of chiasmata
