NEET Biology question

Refer to the given paragraph where a few words/phrases have been italicised.

Meiosis is also called **reductional** division as the number of chromosomes **remains same** after division. Synapsis of **homologous** chromosomes takes place during pachytene stage of prophase I. Crossing over between **sister** chromatids of **non-homologous** chromosomes usually takes place during diplotene stage. Centromeres do not divide during **anaphase II** but they do so in **anaphase I**. **Similar** chromosomes move towards opposite poles both in anaphase I and anaphase II.

Select the correct option regarding this.

• (A)"Reductional" should be replaced with "equational" and the positions of "sister" should be replaced by "non-sister."
• (B)"Remains same" should be replaced by "reduced to half," and the positions of homologous and non-homologous should be interchanged.Correct
• (C)"Pachytene" should be replaced by "diakinesis" and the positions of "anaphase II" and "anaphase I" should be interchanged.
• (D)"Reductional" should not be replaced as it is correctly mentioned, and "anaphase I" should be replaced with "telophase I."
