The time duration between meiosis-$I$ and meiosis-$II$ is known as:

$A$ : Chiasmata counting stage is diplotene.
$R$ : Dissolution of the synaptonemal complex occurs except at the sites of crossovers.

During which stages (or prophase $I$ substages) of meiosis do you expect to find the bivalents and $DNA$ replication respectively?

At which site does crossing over occur between the chromatids of homologous chromosomes?

Match List-$I$ with List-$II$ :

List-$I$ (Sub Phases of Prophase-$I$)	List-$II$
$A$. Diakinesis	$I$. Synaptonemal complex formation
$B$. Pachytene	$II$. Completion of terminalisation of chiasmata
$C$. Zygotene	$III$. Chromosomes look like thin threads
$D$. Leptotene	$IV$. Appearance of recombination nodules

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$: Synaptonemal complex develops between two synapsed homologous chromosomes.
$R$: Mitosis cannot be completed without the synaptonemal complex.
