The following events occur during the process of meiosis.

Arrange the following events of meiosis in the correct

sequence.

I. Terminalization

II. Crossing over

III. Synapsis

IV. Disjunction of genomes

(a) I, II, III, IV (b) II, III, IV, I

(c) III, II, I, IV (d) IV, I, II, III


Answer:

(c) The correct sequence of the events in the meiosis is:

III, II, I, IV

III. Synapsis: Synapsis is the pairing of two

homologous chromosomes that occurs during

meiosis. It allows matching-up of homologous

pairs prior to their segregation, and possible

chromosomal crossover between them. It

occurs in zygotene sage.

II. Crossing over: Crossing over is exchange of

chromosomes segments between non-sister

chromatids of homologous pair. Crossing over

occurs during pachytene stage.

I. Terminalization: Terminalization of chiasmata

occurs in diakinesis stage of meiosis I. It is the

disappearance of chiasmata of sliding towards

the tips of the chromosomes due to tight

condensation.

IV. Disjunction of genomes: The process of

breakdown of homologous chromosomes is

called disjunction. This process occurs in

anaphase I
