Question

When does crossing over occur in meiosis?

  1. Metaphase I

  2. Prophase I

  3. Anaphase II

  4. Prophase II

hintHint:

In this stage chromosome condensation takes place.

The correct answer is:

Prophase I


    • In prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair to form synapses. This is a step unique to meiosis.
    • Paired chromosomes are called bivalent chromosomes and reveal the formation of chiasmata by genetic recombination. Chromosome condensation allows it to be seen under a microscope.
