The completion of prophase of mitosis is marked by the following characteristic events except:
1. Chromosomal material condenses to form compact mitotic chromosomes.
2. Chromosomes are seen to be composed of two chromatids attached together at the centromere.
3. Centrosome undergoes duplication during prophase.
4. Each centrosome radiates out microtubules called asters.

Prophase I has been subdivided into the five phases based on chromosomal behaviour and the correct chronology of these phases [beginning from the earliest] will be:
1. Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diakinesis and Diplotene.
2. Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis.
3. Leptotene, Pachytene, Zygotene, Diakinesis and Diplotene.
4. Diplotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diakinesis and Leptotene.

In meiosis:
I: paired chromosomes are called homologous chromosomes.
II: Chromosome synapsis is accompanied by the formation of complex structure called synaptonemal complex.
III: The complex formed by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes is called a bivalent or a tetrad.
IV: Tetrads are most clearly visible during zygotene.

Crossing over:
I: is the exchange of genetic material between two sister chromatids of heterologous chromosomes.
II: is an enzyme-mediated process and the enzyme involved is called recombinase.
III: leads to recombination of genetic material on the two chromosomes.
IV: is completed by the end of pachytene, leaving the chromosomes linked at the sites of crossing over.
