Identify the correct sequence of substages in Prophase I of meiosis.
- A.Leptotene -> Pachytene -> Zygotene -> Diplotene -> Diakinesis
- B.Leptotene -> Zygotene -> Pachytene -> Diakinesis -> Diplotene
- C.Leptotene -> Zygotene -> Pachytene -> Diplotene -> DiakinesisCorrect answer
- D.Zygotene -> Leptotene -> Pachytene -> Diplotene -> Diakinesis
Solution
Prophase I of meiosis is subdivided into five distinct phases based on chromosomal behavior: Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene, and Diakinesis.
