When synapsis is complete all along the chromosome, the cell is said to have entered a stage called:

  1. A
    zygotene
  2. B
    pachytene
  3. C
    diplotene
  4. D
    diakinesis.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

During Prophase I of meiosis:Zygotene is the stage where homologous chromosomes begin to pair (synapsis).Pachytene is the stage where synapsis is complete and crossing over (recombination) occurs between non-sister chromatids.Diplotene involves the dissolution of the synaptonemal complex.
