B.
S phase
Cell cycle is a series of cyclic changes through which a cell passes during its growth and division. In the cell cycle, the resting stage or interphase can be divided into three periods.
G1 phase: RNA and Protein synthesised
S phase: DNA is formed from purines and pyrimidines. The DNA content of nucleus would be doubled.
G2 phase: Synthesis of RNA and protein continues, but DNA synthesis stops.
Match the sub-stage of prophase I of meiosis in Column I and the events in Column II and choose the right option.
Column I | Column II |
A. Leptotene | 1. Terminalization of chiasma |
B. Zygotene | 2. Crossing over and recombination |
C. Pachytene | 3. Synapsis |
D. Diakinesis | 4. Visibility of chromosomes |
