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:

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

A. Diakinesis involves the completion of terminalisation of chiasmata (II).

B. Pachytene is characterized by the appearance of recombination nodules (IV).

C. Zygotene involves the formation of the synaptonemal complex (I).

D. Leptotene is characterized by chromosomes appearing as thin threads (III).

Thus, the correct answer is (3) A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
