Arrange the following events of meiosis in the correct sequence:

i. Crossing over

ii. Synapsis

iii. Terminalisation of chiasmata

iv. Disappearance of the nucleolusNEET 2015 (Phase 2)

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

The sequence of event during meiosis are:

(A) Synapsis (Zygotene)- The homologous chromosomes start pairing with the help of the synaptonemal complex.

(B) Crossing over (Pachytene)- The non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchanges their parts. Enzyme recombinase takes part in this process.

(C) Terminalisation of chiasmata (Diakinesis)- The chiasmata moves towards the end of the chromosome (Telomere).

(D) The disappearance of nucleolus- The degeneration of nucleolus and nuclear membrane takes place which marks the end of prophase-I.
