Vedclass · Answer

(A) Meiosis $II$ is known as equational or homotypic division because it resembles mitosis. In this process,the sister chromatids separate,and the number of chromosomes in the resulting daughter cells remains the same as that in the parent cell that entered meiosis $II$. Therefore,both the Assertion and the Reason are correct,and the Reason correctly explains why it is called an equational division.

$I$. Leptotene	$A$. Chromosomes appear as clear bivalents/tetrads
$II$. Zygotene	$B$. Chromosomes appear like a thread (beaded appearance)
$III$. Pachytene	$C$. Chromosome condensation reaches its maximum
$IV$. Diakinesis	$D$. Synapsis of homologous chromosomes occurs
