These given statements are related with specific phase of meiosis, select the unrelated satatment with the phase given below.
Statement `" "` Phase

A

The homologous chromosome separate, while sister chromatids remain associated at their centromere - Anaphase I

B

The bivalent chromosomes align on the equatorial plate - Metaphase I

C

Cytokinesis follows resulting in the formation of tetrad of cells - Telophase I

D

Terminalisation of chiasmata - Final stage of prophase I

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question of identifying the unrelated statement with the given phase of meiosis, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Phases of Meiosis**: Meiosis consists of two main stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Each of these stages has specific phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. 2. **Analyze Each Statement**: - **Statement A**: "Homologous chromosomes separate while sister chromatids remain associated at their centromere." - This statement describes Anaphase I, where homologous chromosomes separate, and sister chromatids remain attached. This is a correct statement. - **Statement B**: "Bivalent chromosomes align on the equatorial plate metaphase 1." - This statement describes Metaphase I, where bivalent chromosomes align at the equatorial plate before separation. This is also a correct statement. - **Statement C**: "Cytokinesis follows resulting in formation of tetra of cells, telophase 1." - This statement incorrectly suggests that cytokinesis results in the formation of four cells after Telophase I. In reality, cytokinesis after Telophase I results in two daughter cells, not four. This statement is incorrect. - **Statement D**: "The final stage of prophase 1." - This statement refers to the final stage of Prophase I, which includes the process of crossing over and the dissolution of chiasmata. This is a correct statement. 3. **Identify the Unrelated Statement**: - From the analysis, Statement C is the only one that does not correctly describe its corresponding phase of meiosis. It incorrectly states that four cells are formed after Telophase I, which is not true. 4. **Conclusion**: The unrelated statement is **C**. ### Final Answer: C: "Cytokinesis follows resulting in formation of tetra of cells, telophase 1."
