Solution
The correct option is D Prophase Meiosis is characterised by crossing over which is physical exchange of chromosome segments in prophase I of meiosis I. The crossing over occurs through synaptonemal complex formation at zygotene stage of prophase I. The recombination nodule formation occurs during pachytene stage. Recombination nodules are rich in enzymes and mark the exact points of breakage and reunion of chromatid segments.
