Match the description (given in column I) with correct stage of prophase I (given column II) and choose the correct option.
Column I Column II
A. Chromosomes are - I. Pachytene moved to spindle equator
B. Centromere splits and - II. Zygotene chromatids move apart
C. Pairing between - III. Anaphase homologous chromosomes takes place
D. Crossing between - IV. Metaphase homologous chromosomes
(a) A – I; B – II; C – III; D – IV
(b) A – II; B – III; C – IV; D – I
(c) A – IV; B – III; C – II; D – I
(d) A – III; B – I; C – IV; D – II
(c) A – IV; B – III; C – II; D – I
Explanation:
Metaphase – Chromosomes are moved to spindle fibre.
Anaphase – Centromere splits and chromatids move apart.
Zygotene – Pairing between homologous chromosomes takes place.
Pachytene – Crossing between homologous chromosomes occurs.
