Telophase is the stage of reconstitution of nuclei. The chromosomes that have reached their respective poles decondense and lose their individuality and collect in a mass in the two poles. Nuclear envelope assemble around chromatin mass. Nucleolus, Golgi complex and ER reform.
Correct Option: D

Synapsis is the pairing of two homologous chromosomes that occurs during meiosis. It allows matching-up of homologous pairs prior to their segregation, and possible chromosomal crossover between them. Synapsis takes place during prophase I, of zygotene of meiosis.
