In prophase, the nuclear membrane dissolves and spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes.
In prophase I, the chromatin condenses to form visible chromosomes.
In prophase, the replicated chromosomes are linked together as sister chromatids.

Answer 1

Answer: In prophase I, tetrads of homologous chromosomes form and crossing over occurs would be the answer in this case.

Answer 2
