Question

Identify the correct combinations from the following: 

 

• A. I and III
• B. I and IV
• C. I and II
• D. III and IV

Hint:

Meiosis involves several key processes such as synapsis, crossing over, disjunction, and terminalization that ensure genetic diversity.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding the events in meiosis
Synapsis occurs in the zygotene phase and leads to bivalent formation (I).
Crossing over occurs in the pachytene phase and results in the recombination of genes (II).
Step 2: Evaluating the options
Option (1): Incorrect, as III and IV are incorrect.
Option (2): Incorrect, as IV does not align with the correct combination.
Option (3): Correct, as both I and II are correct.
Option (4): Incorrect, as III and IV are not correct combinations.
Final Answer: \[ I\text{ and }II \]
