Explanation
Prophase I of meiosis has been divided into five substages which occur in the following sequence:Leptotene ➡ Zygotene ➡ Pachytene ➡ Diplotene ➡ Diakinesis. Synapsis i.e., the pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs during zygotene. Crossing over i.e., exchange of chromatid segments occurs during pachytene. Terminalisation of chiasmata i.e., shifting of chiasmata towards the ends of chromosomes and complete disappearance of nucleolus take place during diakinesis.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
