Question

Match List I with List II.

List I (Sub Phases of Prophase I)	List II (Specific characters)
A. Diakinesis	I. Synaptonemal complex formation
B. Pachytene	II. Completion of terminalisation of chiasmata
C. Zygotene	III. Chromosomes look like thin threads
D. Leptotene	IV. Appearance of recombination nodules

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Options

• A - II, B - IV, C - I, D - III

• A - IV, B - III, C - II, D - I

• A - IV, B - II, C - III, D - I

• A - I, B - II, C - IV, D - III

Answer 1

A - II, B - IV, C - I, D - III

Explanation:

List I (Sub Phases of Prophase I)	List II (Specific characters)
A. Diakinesis	II. Completion of terminalisation of chiasmata
B. Pachytene	IV. Appearance of recombination nodules
C. Zygotene	I. Synaptonemal complex formation
D. Leptotene	III. Chromosomes look like thin threads

1. The completion of chiasmata terminalization is a sign of diakinesis.
2. Recombination nodules are a characteristic of pachytene.
3. Synaptonemal complex development is a characteristic of zygotene.
4. Chromosomes that resemble tiny threads are indicative of leptotene.
