NEET 2023 Phase 2 · BiologyMeiosis IPrevious Year Question
Select correct sequence of substages of Prophase-I of meiotic division: (A) Zygotene (B) Pachytene (C) Diakinesis (D) Leptotene (E) Diplotene
Answer: (A) (D), (A), (B), (E), (C). Answer: (D), (A), (B), (E), (C) Solution: Prophase I is subdivided into five sequential substages — Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis.
- A.(D), (A), (B), (E), (C)✓
- B.(A), (D), (B), (C), (E)
- C.(D), (B), (A), (E), (C)
- D.(A), (B), (D), (E), (C)
Correct Answer
(A) (D), (A), (B), (E), (C)
Solution & Explanation
Answer: (D), (A), (B), (E), (C) Solution: Prophase I is subdivided into five sequential substages — Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis. Matching these to the labels gives (D) Leptotene, (A) Zygotene, (B) Pachytene, (E) Diplotene, (C) Diakinesis, i.e. the sequence (D),(A),(B),(E),(C). NCERT Reference: Ch 10, p.126, lines 22-23 — "Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis"
