Correct answer: C
The matching between the sub-phases of Prophase I and their specific characters can be understood as follows:
List I (Sub Phases of Prophase I):
- Leptotene: This is the first stage where chromosomes start to become visible under the microscope as thin, thread-like structures. Hence, it is characterized by chromosomes looking like thin threads.
- Zygotene: During this stage, synapsis begins, which is the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This corresponds to the formation of the synaptonemal complex.
- Pachytene: At this stage, crossing over occurs where genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes. Appearance of recombination nodules, which are essential for crossing over, characterizes this stage.
- Diakinesis: This is the final stage of prophase I where chiasmata (the site of crossing over) move to the ends of the chromosomes, a process known as terminalization. Hence, this phase is marked by the completion of terminalization of chiasmata.
List II (Specific Characters):
- I. Synaptonemal complex formation - Characteristic of Zygotene.
- II. Completion of terminalisation of chiasmata - Characteristic of Diakinesis.
- III. Chromosomes look like thin threads - Characteristic of Leptotene.
- IV. Appearance of recombination nodules - Characteristic of Pachytene.
Matching the sub-phases to their characters:
- A (Diakinesis) matches with II (Completion of terminalisation of chiasmata).
- B (Pachytene) matches with IV (Appearance of recombination nodules).
- C (Zygotene) matches with I (Synaptonemal complex formation).
- D (Leptotene) matches with III (Chromosomes look like thin threads).
Thus, the correct answer is Option C:
A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
