Phases of Miosis I :-
i. Leptotene
- DNA present as a Web
- DNA starts condensing and coiling
- Thin long thread like chromosomes appears.
ii. Zygotene
Homologous chromosomes start pairing and this process of association is called Synapsis
Each pair of synapses homologous chromosome called a Bivalent or Tetrad.
iii. Pachytene Phase
Crossing over occurs between non sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes .
Crossing over is carried by Recombinase (a enzyme).
iv. Diakinesis
Point of contact that is Chaismata move towards the end of sister chromatid and this process is called Terminalisation.
Appearance of kinetic spindles.
