(B) Synapsis

(C) Terminalisation of chiasmata

(D) Disappearance of nucleolus

Show Answer

Answer : a

Hints & Solutions

(a) Pachytene - Crossing over mediated by recombinase enzyme. Zygotene - Pairing of homologous chromosomes $G_2$ phase - Synthesis of RNA and protein Anaphase I - Centromeres do not separate but chromatids move towards opposite poles.
