Question

The Stage in which chiasmata can be seen is.

• A. Leptotene
• B. Zygotene
• C. Pachytene
• D. Diakinesis

Answer 1

The correct option is D Diakinesis

Diakinesis is the final step of Prophase 1 and is the termination of the condensing of the chromosomes, this allows the chiasmata and bivalent structure to be seen more clearly under an electron microscope. The chromosomes are at their most condensed form during diakinesis.

Hence, D is the correct option.
