II. The cells undergoing meiosis may be haploid or diploid
III. No bouquet stage is recorded
IV. Pairing or synapsis of homologous chromosomes takes place during zygotene of prophase-I and continues upto metaphase-I
Option containing correct statement is
I. Meiosis is a double division. It gives rise to four cells
II. The cells undergoing meiosis may be haploid or diploid
III. No bouquet stage is recorded
IV. Pairing or synapsis of homologous chromosomes takes place during zygotene of prophase-I and continues upto metaphase-I
