FIVE STAGES OF PROFACE 1

Stage 1: Leptotene – The chromosomes begin to condense and are connected to the nuclear membrane
by their telomeres in leptotene.

Stage 2: Zygotene – A synaptonemal complex forms between homologous chromosomes at the start of
zygotene-synapsis.

Stage 3: Pachytene – non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material (crossing over).

Stage 4: Diplotene – Synaptonemal complexes vanish towards the conclusion of the diplotene synapsis,
although homologous pairs remain linked at the chiasmata.

Stage 5: Diakinesis – Chromosomes become fully condensed. The nuclear membrane and nucleolus
break down in preparation for the next phase of meiosis I, which is metaphase I.
