Verified by Toppr

The correct option is D All the above
Prophase 1 of Meiosis is the first stage of meiosis and is defined by five different phases; Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis. Prophase 1 is essentially the crossing over and recombination of genetic material between non sister chromatids - this results in the genetically unidentical, haploid daughter chromatid cells. So, these stages are under meiosis 1 not under mitosis.
So, the correct option is D.
