Which of the following event/s occur in prophase-I?
a) tight coiling of DNA                       
b) identical chromosomes pair up
c) exchange of segments   

d) all of these

d

The process of exchange of material during prophase-I is called……..
a) mating                                              

b) fertilization
c) crossing over                 

d) none of these.

c

Explanation:crossing over, is the exchange of genetic material during sexual reproduction between two homologous chromosomes' non-sister chromatids that results in recombinant chromosomes. It is one of the final phases of genetic recombination, which occurs in the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis during a process called synapsis


Which of the following is the first phase of meiosis-I?
a) prophase-I                      

b) metaphase-I
c) anaphase-I                      

d) telophase-I

a

What occurs in metaphase-I?
a) crossing over                   
b) alignment of pair of chromosomes
c) movement of chromosomes

d) all of these

b

Which of the following event/s occur in anaphase-I?
a) pair of chromosomes separated
b) separated chromosomes move to their respective poles
c) uncoiling of chromosomes           

d) both a and b

d

Which of the following event/s occur during telophase-I?
a) nuclear membrane reappear                       
b) two daughter cells with half number of chromosomes produced
c) alignment of chromosomes

d) both a and b
