Arrange the following events of meiosis in a correct sequence:
I. Crossing over
II. Synapsis
III. Terminalisation of chiasmata
IV. Disappearance of nucleolus
1. | II, I, IV, III | 2. | II, I, III, IV |
3. | I, II, III, IV | 4. | II, III, IV, I |
Match the following column I with column II.
Column I | Column II | ||
A. | Synapsis aligns homologous chromosomes | (i) | Anaphase II |
B. | Synthesis of RNA and protein | (ii) | Zygotene |
C. | Action of enzyme recombinase | (iii) | G2 - phase |
D. | Centromeres do not separate, but chromatids move towards opposite poles | (iv) | Anaphase I |
(v) | Pachytene |
1. A-(ii), B-(i), C-(iii), D-(iv)
2. A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(v), D-(iv)
3. A-(i), B-(ii), C-(v), D-(iv)
4. A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(iv), D-(v)
The enzyme recombinase is required at which stage of meiosis:
1. Pachytene
