Question

Match List-I with List-II:

List-I (Events)
A. Chromosomes start pairing together to form synaptonemal complex
B. Chromosomes visible under light microscope and compaction continues
C. Four chromatids of bivalent chromosomes become distinct and recombinant nodules appear
D. Dissolution of synaptonemal complex

List-II (Prophase-I)
I. Pachytene
II. Zygotene
III. Diplotene
IV. Leptotene

Accepted Answer

According to the textbook description of Prophase I stages:
- (A) Zygotene: Chromosomes start pairing together (synapsis) accompanied by the formation of the synaptonemal complex .
- (B) Leptotene: Chromosomes become gradually visible under the light microscope and their compaction continues .
- (C) Pachytene: Bivalent chromosomes become distinct (four chromatids) and recombination nodules appear .
- (D) Diplotene: Characterised by the dissolution of the synaptonemal complex .
