The stage during which separation of the paired homologous chromosomes begins is
A
Diakinesis
B
Diplotene
C
Pachytene
D
Zygotene
Explanation
Dissolution of the synaptonemal complex at diplotene begins separation of homologues.
Detailed Solution
At diplotene the synaptonemal complex disintegrates and the homologous chromosomes begin to separate.
Terminalisation begins at the diplotene stage, i.e. chiasmata start to shift towards the ends.
