### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Zygotene Stage:** - During the Zygotene stage of prophase I in meiosis, homologous chromosomes begin to pair up. This process is known as **synapsis**. In this stage, the paternal and maternal chromosomes align closely together, forming pairs. 2. **Pachytene Stage:** - In the Pachytene stage, which is also a sub-stage of prophase I, the non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes undergo **crossing over**. This means that segments of genetic material are exchanged between the chromatids, leading to genetic variation. This exchange of chromatin segments is crucial for increasing genetic diversity. ...
