Chiasmata are most appropriately observed in meiosis during :

  • diakinesis

  • diplotene

  • metaphase II

  • pachytene


B.

diplotene

Chiasmata is observed in meiosis during diplotene, sub stage of Prophase-I. It is the result of crossing over. Each chiasmata is the site of an exchange between chromatids. It is produced by breakage and reunion between any two of the four strands present at each site.
