NEET BIOLOGYMedium

Select the correct statements regarding cell division stages.

A

Tetrad formation is seen during Leptotene.

B

During Anaphase, the centromeres split and chromatids separate.

C

Terminalization takes place during Pachytene.

D

Nucleolus, Golgi complex and ER are reformed during Telophase.

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the textbook:

  • Statement D is Correct: The key events of Telophase include the reformation of the nucleolus, Golgi complex, and ER .
  • Statement A is Incorrect: Tetrads (bivalents) form during Zygotene (synapsis) and become clearly visible during Pachytene, not Leptotene .
  • Statement B is Contextually Incorrect: While centromeres split during Anaphase of Mitosis and Anaphase II , they do not split during Anaphase I of meiosis (homologous chromosomes separate, but sister chromatids remain associated) . Given the other options refer to Meiosis, this statement is not universally true.
  • Statement C is Incorrect: Terminalization of chiasmata occurs during Diakinesis, not Pachytene .
