During gamete formation, the enzyme recombinase participates during:
Correct answer: C. Prophase I
- A. Metaphase I
- B. Anaphase II
- C. Prophase I
- D. Prophase II
Explanation
(c) : During gamete formation, the enzyme recombinase participates during pachytene stage of prophase I. This stage is characterized by the appearance of recombination nodules, the sites at which crossing over occurs between non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between two homologous chromosomes. Crossing over is also an enzymemediated process and the enzyme involved is called recombinase.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
