Q1. Which phase of the prophase I of meiosis I is recognized by the dissolution of the synaptonemal complex and the tendency of the recombined homologous chromosomes of the bivalents to separate from each other except at the sites of crossovers?

Zygotene
Pachytene
iplotene
iakinesis

Q2. All the following events take place during the telophase stage of mitosis except:

Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles and their identity is lost as discrete elements.
Nuclear envelope develops around the chromosome clusters at each pole forming two daughter nuclei.
Nucleolus, Golgi complex and ER re-form.
Microtubules get organised into spindle fibres.
