The correct answer is:
(ii), (i), (iii), (iv)
Prophase I of meiosis has been divided into five substages which occur in the sequence as: Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis.
Synapsis i.e., pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs during zygotene.
Crossing over i.e., exchange of chromatid segments occurs during pachytene.
Terminalization of chiasmata i.e., shifting of chiasmata towards the ends of chromosomes and complete disappearance of nucleolus take place during diakinesis.
Synapsis i.e., pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs during zygotene.
Crossing over i.e., exchange of chromatid segments occurs during pachytene.
Terminalization of chiasmata i.e., shifting of chiasmata towards the ends of chromosomes and complete disappearance of nucleolus take place during diakinesis.
