Question

Prophase of reduction division is divided into
number of stages. The correct chronological
sequence is
(a) Leptotene – pachytene – zygotene – diplotene
– diakinesis
(b) Leptotene – diplotene – pachytene – zygotene
– diakinesis
(c) Leptotene – zygotene – diplotene – pachytene
– diakinesis
(d) Leptotene – zygotene – pachytene – diplotene
– diakinesis

Answer 1

Answer:

d) Leptotene – zygotene – pachytene – diplotene

– diakinesis✔

Answer 2

Stages of prophase I of meiosis:

• Option “D” is correct i.e. Leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, diakinesis.

• Prophase of reduction division is divided into a number of stages. The correct chronological sequence is Leptotene-zygotene-pachytene-diplotene-diakinesis.

• Prophase of meiosis I is extensive and complicated since it is during this phase that crossing over arises between homologous chromosomes. Prophase I is composed of Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene, and Diakinesis.
