Arrange the following cellular events in the correct sequential order as they lead to the Law of Segregation during meiosis: 1. Replication of DNA during the S-phase of interphase. 2. Pairing of homologous chromosomes (synapsis) during Prophase I. 3. Alignment of homologous chromosome pairs at the metaphase plate. 4. Separation of homologous chromosomes during Anaphase I. 5. Separation of sister chromatids during Anaphase II, leading to haploid gametes containing a single allele. Choose the correct option:

Options:

  • A: 2 -> 1 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5
  • B: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5
  • C: 1 -> 3 -> 2 -> 5 -> 4
  • D: 3 -> 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 5
