The final stage of meiotic prophase I is diakinesis. This is marked by terminalisation of chiasmata. During this phase, the chromosomes are fully condensed and the meiotic spindle is assembled to prepare the homologous chromosomes for separation.
Which stage of meiotic prophase shows terminalisation of chiasmata as its distinctive feature?
