Match the stages of meiosis in column I to their characteristic features in column II and select the correct option using the codes given below: Column I Column IIA. Pachytene (i) Pairing of homologous chromosomes B. Metaphase I (ii) Terminalisation of chiasmata C. Diakinesis. (iii) Crossingover takes place D. Zygotene (iv) Chromosomes align at equatorial plate
Correct answer: A. A(iii), B(iv), C(ii), D(i)
- A. A(iii), B(iv), C(ii), D(i)
- B. A(i), B(iv), C(ii), D(iii)
- C. A(ii), B(iv), C(iii), D(i)
- D. A(iv), B(iii), C(ii), D(i)
Explanation
Pachytene: Crossingover takes place.Metaphase I: Chromosomes align at equatorial plate.Diakinesis: Terminalisation of chiasmata.Zygotene: Pairing of homologous chromosomes.

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.
