Answer 1

$\huge{\mathcal{\purple{A}\green{N}\pink{S}\blue{W}\purple{E}\green{R}\pink{!}}}$

$\huge\mathcal{\blue{\underline{\purple{\boxed{\red{PACHYTENE}}}}}}$

$\huge\mathcal{\red{\underline{\purple{\pink{EXPLANATION}}}}}$ Pachytene is the longest phase of Prophase 1 in meiosis. During pachytene the homologous chromosomes thicken and become recombinant. The process of chromosomal crossing over is crucial for accurate segregation as chiasmata hold the maternal and paternal chromosomes together.
