D
Telophase I
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of Meiosis I, which is the first division in meiosis where homologous chromosomes are separated.
Recall that Meiosis I consists of several stages: Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, and Telophase I.
Focus on Prophase I, where homologous chromosomes pair up in a process called synapsis, forming structures known as tetrads.
During Prophase I, crossing over occurs, which is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes.
Recognize that the exchange of genetic material during Prophase I increases genetic diversity, which is a key feature of sexual reproduction.
