Vedclass · Answer

(C) The process of synapsis,which involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes,occurs during the $2^{nd}$ stage of prophase $-I$ of meiosis,known as zygotene.Prophase $-I$ is divided into five sub-stages: leptotene,zygotene,pachytene,diplotene,and diakinesis.During the zygotene stage,chromosomes start pairing together,and this process of association is called synapsis.Therefore,the correct option is $C$.

Column $I$	Column $II$
$A$. Diakinesis	$1$. Crossing over takes place
$B$. Pachytene	$2$. Terminalisation of chiasmata
$C$. Zygotene	$3$. Chromosomes align at equatorial plate
$D$. Metaphase	$4$. Pairing of homologous chromosomes
