Condensation of chromosomes reaches to the maximum during:
Correct answer: D. Diakinesis
- A. Zygotene
- B. Pachytene
- C. Diplotene
- D. Diakinesis
Explanation
During diakinesis, the condensation of chromosomes is maximum.During this stage, the homologous chromosomes become tightly coiled and shortened, allowing for efficient crossing over and exchange of genetic material between the chromosomes.
