Solution

The correct option is C A- Bivalent, B- Tetrad, C- Pachytene stage, D- Non-sister chromatids, E- Sister chromatids
(A) Tetrad: In pachytene stage, the chromatids of each synapsed chromosome slightly separate and become visible. The two visible chromatids of a chromosome are referred to as a dyad. A group of four homologous chromatids (two dyads) is called a tetrad.

(B) Bivalent: A pair of homologous chromosomes lying together is called a bivalent.

(C) Pachytene Stage: Tetrad formation is visible for the first time during pachytene stage where the paired homologous chromosomes become clearly visible.

(D) Non-sister Chromatids: The two chromatids of two homologous chromosomes (bivalent) are termed non-sister chromatids.

(E) Sister Chromatids: The two chromatids of the same chromosome are called sister chromatids.
