The stage during which separation of the paired homologous chromosomes begins is:

  1. A
    Diakinesis
  2. B
    Diplotene
  3. C
    Pachytene
  4. D
    Zygotene

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

In Prophase I of Meiosis I:Zygotene: Pairing (synapsis) begins.Pachytene: Crossing over occurs.Diplotene: The synaptonemal complex dissolves, and homologous chromosomes begin to separate except at the sites of crossovers (chiasmata).Diakinesis: Terminalization of chiasmata.
