3. | Prophase II | Nuclear membrane disappears by the end |
4. | Metaphase II | Microtubules from the opposite poles of the spindle get attached to the kinetochores of sister chromatids |
Assertion (A): | Meiosis conserves specific chromosome number of each species across generations in sexually reproducing organisms. |
Reason (R): | Meiosis, per se, results in reduction of chromosome number by half. |

Crossing over that results in genetic recombination in higher organisms occurs between:-
1. Non-sister chromatids of a bivalent
2. Two daughter nuclei
3. Two different bivalents
4. Sister chromatids of a bivalent
