Question
Assertion: During zygotene, chromosomes show bivalent stage. Reason: Bivalent is half the number of chromosomes.

Assertion: Meiotic division results in the production of haploid cells. Reason: Synapsis occurs during zygotene of meiosis.
Assertion: Prophase is characterised by formation of mitotic chromosome. Reason: Chromosomal material condenses in prophase stage.
Assertion: The complex formed by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosome is called a bivalent or a tetrad. Reason: The first two stages of prophase I are relatively short lived when compared to the next stage that is pachytene.
