Column I (Phase of meiosis) |
Column II (Event that occurs) |
A. Prophase I | 1. Crossing over occurs |
B. Metaphase II | 2. Sister chromatids migrate to opposite poles. |

Match the sub stage of prophase I of meiosis in column I and the events in column II and choose the right options:
Column I | Column II |
A. Leptotene | 1. Terminalization of chiasma |
B. Zygotene | 2. Crossing over and recombination |
C. Pachytene | 3. Synapsis |

Assertion (A): A cell after telophase-II does not enter another interphase.
Reason (R): Gametes or spores are formed after telophase-II.
