Answer

To arrange the given statements in the correct sequence of their occurrence during prophase I of meiosis, we need to analyze each statement and identify the stages of prophase I in which they occur.

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Thin thread-like chromosomes with a beaded appearance**: This occurs during the **Leptotene** stage of prophase I. At this stage, chromosomes begin to condense and become visible as thin threads, and they exhibit a beaded appearance due to the presence of chromatin.

2. **Formation of bivalents/tetrads**: This occurs during the **Zygotene** stage. In this stage, homologous chromosomes pair up and form structures known as bivalents or tetrads.

3. **Appearance of recombination nodules**: This happens during the **Pachytene** stage. During this stage, crossing over occurs, and recombination nodules appear at points where genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes.

4. **Appearance of chiasmata**: This occurs during the **Diplotene** stage. Chiasmata are visible as the homologous chromosomes begin to separate but remain connected at the crossover points.

5. **Terminalisation of chiasmata**: This takes place during the **Diakinesis** stage. In this final stage of prophase I, the chiasmata move toward the ends of the chromosomes, a process known as terminalization.

### Correct Sequence:
Based on the analysis above, the correct sequence of the statements in terms of their occurrence during prophase I is:
1. Thin thread-like chromosomes with a beaded appearance (Statement i)
2. Formation of bivalents/tetrads (Statement iii)
3. Appearance of recombination nodules (Statement ii)
4. Appearance of chiasmata (Statement v)
5. Terminalisation of chiasmata (Statement iv)

Thus, the final order is: **i, iii, ii, v, iv**.
