Best answer

Answer: 2. Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Key idea: recall what happens in each substage of prophase I.

  • Statement I: In leptotene the chromosomes begin to condense and become gradually visible under the light microscope. True.
  • Statement II: Diplotene begins with dissolution of the synaptonemal complex, and the homologues separate except at chiasmata. True.

Both statements are true.
