In this stage homologous recombination, like chromosomal crossover (crossing over), is accomplished by means of the mend of the double strand breaks fashioned in leptotene. The very first phase of prophase I is the leptotene phase, also regarded as leptonema, from Greek phrases which means "thin threads". This will choose put throughout prophase I in meiosis. For diploid organisms, the daughter cells ensuing from meiosis are haploid and comprise only a single duplicate of every single chromosome.
