    During meiosis crossing over occurs at

    A)  pachytene                        

    B)  zygotene

    C)   leptotene                         

    D)  diakinesis

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     During pachytene stage, crossing over takes place. It is an exchange of equal segments of non-sister chromatids belonging to two different but homologous chromosomes. The chromosome pair (ie, bivalent) consists of four chromatids and thus crossing over takes place at four stranded stage.
