Meiosis-I is also called as heterotypic division/reductional cell division. Select the correct option by comparing the phase of the meiosis and their respective events from lists I and II.
| List I (Phase of meiosis) | List II (Event that occurs) |
|---|---|
| 1. Prophase I | Crossing over occurs |
| 2. Metaphase I | Sister chromatids migrate to opposite poles |
| 3. Anaphase I | Homologous chromosomes line up at equator in pairs |
Options:
Answer:
C
Solution:
Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes which occurs during prophase I of meiosis during a process called a synopsis. During metaphase, the homologous chromosomes line up at the equator in pairs and in anaphase, the sister chromatids migrate towards opposite poles.
