Question

During meiosis the chromatids of homologous chromosomes have just undergone crossing over. Which phase will the cell enter next

Answer 1

Metaphase I. Meiosis prophase I is the phase in which chromosomal crossing over occurs. The phase after prophase I is metaphase I.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be Metaphase I.

The event of crossing takes place in the pachytene stage of prophase I.

During this event, the genetic material is exchanged between the non-sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes.

After prophase I, the cell enters the metaphase I during which the all the chromosomes are aligned at the equator of the cell.
