<prompt> Which is not a stage of prophase -DiakinesisLeptoteneZygoteneArachytene  <response>: Ans. is d i.e., Arachytene Meiosiso Meiosis is a process of cell division which is observed only during maturation of sex cells i.e. in final process of gamete formation.o Meiosis consists of tow consecutive divisions, Meiosis I and Meiosis II, to yield four haploid gamates from a single diploid grand parent cells.o Hence, the meiosis is called heterotypical or reduction division.o The characteristic of meiosis is that there is no DNA replication between meiosis I and meiosis II.Meiosis Io Meiosis I is divided into following phases1 Prophase I: It is further divided into following stages:-i Leptoteneii Zygoteneiii Pachyteneiv Diplotenev Diakinesis2 Metaphase I3 Anaphase I4 Telophase 1Meiosis IIo It is divided into following phases:-1 Prophase II2 Metaphase II3 Anaphase II4 Telophase II
