The number of chiasmata depends on what?

The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes occurs during which process?

Match the stages of meiosis in Column-$I$ to their characteristic features in Column-$II$ and select the correct option using the codes given below.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A)$ Pachytene	$(i)$ Pairing of homologous chromosomes
$(B)$ Metaphase-$I$	$(ii)$ Terminalisation of chiasmata
$(C)$ Diakinesis	$(iii)$ Crossing-over takes place
$(D)$ Zygotene	$(iv)$ Chromosomes align at equatorial plate

Which of the following statement$(s)$ is/are not correct about meiosis?
$I.$ Meiosis involves pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination between them.
$II.$ Two diploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis-$II$.
$III.$ Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division called meiosis-$I$ and meiosis-$II$,but only a single cycle of $DNA$ replication.
$IV.$ Meiosis-$I$ is initiated after the parental chromosome replication which produces identical sister chromatids at the $S$-phase.
The correct option is

Synapsis occurs during:

Synaptonemal complex is formed during
