The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the following options is correctly matched, we will analyze each option in detail: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Option A: Lipotene - Formation of Bifurcates** - Lipotene is a stage in prophase I of meiosis where chromosomes begin to condense and become visible. However, the formation of bivalents (not bifurcates) occurs later in the zygotene stage. Therefore, this option is incorrectly matched. 2. **Option B: Diplotene - Chiasmata Appear** - Diplotene is indeed a stage in prophase I of meiosis where the homologous chromosomes are paired and the chiasmata (the points where crossing over occurs) become visible. This option is correctly matched. 3. **Option C: Pachytene - Chiasmata Terminated** - Pachytene is a stage where crossing over occurs, and chiasmata are formed. Chiasmata are resolved during the later stage called diakinesis, not pachytene. Therefore, this option is incorrectly matched. 4. **Option D: Zygote - Formation of Vaucut** - The term "Vaucut" seems to be a typographical error or a misinterpretation. The correct term might refer to the formation of the "vacuole" or "vacuolar structures," which occurs during the lipotene stage. Thus, this option is also incorrectly matched. ### Conclusion: The only correctly matched option is **Option B: Diplotene - Chiasmata Appear**. ---
