The appearance of recombination nodules on homologous chromosomes during meiosis characterizes :
Bivalent
Sites at which crossing over occurs
Terminalization
Synaptonemal complex
Prophase I of meiosis I is a unique phase that involves the recombination of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. This occurs in the pachytene stage where the non-sister chromatics of the homologous chromosomes cross over and the exchange of genetic material takes place. Recombination modules are the sites at which the non-sister chromatids Cross over.
Hence, the correct option is (2)
