    In which substage ofprophase I, pairing between homologous chromosomes is completed throughout whole length and pairs are referred to as biyalents?

    A)  diplotene        

    B)  zygotene

    C)  leptotene        

    D)  pachytene

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    : Zygotene is marked by the pairing of the homologous chromosomes known as synapsis. Pairing begins at one or more points along the length of the chromosome and then proceeds in a zipper-like fashion aligning the two homologous chromosomes side by side. Each pair is called as a bivalent and it is also called tetrad since each bivalent contains four chromatids.
