A. Tetrad formation takes place in zygotene, but it is clearly visible in pachytene stage.
B. During anaphase, due to splitting of centromere, chromatids get separated and act as individual chromosomes. It is responsible of doubling of chromosomes. 
C. The fi nal stage of meiotic prophase I is diakinesis. This is marked by terminalisation of chiasmata.
D. The nuclear membrane, nucleolus, Golgi complex and ER are reformed during telophase.
E. Pachytene stage is characterised by the appearance of recombination nodules, the sites at which crossing over occurs between non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes.
