In meiosis,the chromosome number

Match the stages of meiosis in Column-$I$ to their characteristic features in Column-$II$ and select the correct option using the codes given below.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A)$ Pachytene	$(i)$ Pairing of homologous chromosomes
$(B)$ Metaphase-$I$	$(ii)$ Terminalisation of chiasmata
$(C)$ Diakinesis	$(iii)$ Crossing-over takes place
$(D)$ Zygotene	$(iv)$ Chromosomes align at equatorial plate

During the first metaphase of meiosis,the centromeres:

$A$ diploid cell which has $8$ chromosomes undergoes meiosis and produces $4$ daughter cells. What is the number of chromosomes present in each daughter cell formed at the end of meiosis-$I$?

At which stage does the number of homologous chromosomes become halved?

What type of gametes are produced by meiosis?
