Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
During pachytene sub-stage of meiosis I, crossing over i.e. exhcnage of genetic material takes place between homologous, which results in recombinations. The two homologous chromosomes are contributed by different parents. One of them is partnerl chromosome and the other one is maternal chormosome.
