Which stage of meiotic prophase shows terminalisation of chiasmata as its distinctive feature?

  1. Pachytene
  2. Leptotene
  3. Zygotene
  4. Diakinesis

Answer

(4) Diakinesis

Solution

As per NCERT, diakinesis is marked by terminalisation of chiasmata; the chromosomes are fully condensed, the meiotic spindle is assembled, and the nucleolus and nuclear envelope disappear.

Leptotene – chromosomes become visible; zygotene – synapsis; pachytene – crossing over.

Answer: (4)
