Assertion: The final stage of meiotic prophase I is diplotene.
Reason: Diplotene is marked by terminalisation of chaisamata.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explantion of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explnantion of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The final stage of meiotic prophase I is diakinesis. This is marked by terminalisation of chiasmata. During this phase the chromosomes are fully condensed and the meiotic spindle is assembled to prepare the homologous choromosomes for separation. Diakinesis represents end of prophase I and transition to metaphase.
