Which stage of meiotic prophase shows terminalisation of chiasmata as its distinctive feature?
- ADiakinesis
- BPachytene
- CLeptotene
- DZygotene
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The stages are: Leptotene → Zygotene → Pachytene → Diplotene → Diakinesis.
In Diakinesis, the terminalisation of chiasmata occurs as the chromosomes fully condense and the meiotic spindle is assembled to prepare for separation.
