What happens to the chromosomes at the end of the pachytene stage after recombination between homologous chromosomes has occurred?
They become linked at the sites of crossing over
They become visible as tetrads
The recombination nodules disappear
Chromosomal compaction occurs
Solution
After recombination between homologous chromosomes has occurred during the pachytene stage, the chromosomes become linked at the sites of crossing over. This is the final result of the recombination process.
