Vedclass · Answer

(D) Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half,resulting in the production of haploid daughter cells.It involves two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division,known as Meiosis-$I$ and Meiosis-$II$.However,these two divisions are preceded by only a single cycle of $DNA$ replication during the $S$-phase of interphase.Therefore,the correct description is two sequential cycles of nuclear and cell division but only a single cycle of $DNA$ replication.

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
