Question

What marks the final stage of meiotic prophase I?

Answer 1

Meiotic prophase I:

1. Prophase I marks the start of meiosis I, the first meiotic division.
2. Chromosomes are formed during prophase I during the condensing of the DNA and protein complex known as chromatin.
3. The sister chromatids—pairs of replicated chromosomes—remain connected at a central region termed the centromere.
4. Diakinesis is the last phase of meiotic prophase I.
5. The terminalization of chiasmata is a sign of this.
6. The chromosomes are fully condensed during this stage, and the meiotic spindle is put together to get the homologous chromosomes ready for separation.
7. Prophase I comes to a close during diakinesis, which marks the beginning of metaphase.
8. Chiasmata terminalization is a characteristic of the diakinesis stage.
9. The cell that is dividing enters metaphase after diakinesis.
10. Bivalents currently distribute them equally across the nucleus.
