During prophase I of meiosis, which of the following events occurs?
A
Chromosomes line up individually along the metaphase plate.
B
Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
C
Chromosomes condense and homologous chromosomes pair up to form tetrads.
D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the production of gametes or spores.
Recognize that meiosis consists of two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Prophase I is a part of Meiosis I.
During Prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair up in a process called synapsis, forming structures known as tetrads.
Chromosomes condense, becoming more visible under a microscope, which is a key event in Prophase I.
Crossing over may occur during Prophase I, where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, increasing genetic diversity.
