Diplotene in prophase I
Diplotene in prophase I

Diplotene is a substage of prophase I in meiosis. The meaning of diplotenen is  "double thread"[1], in which synapsed chromosomes separate, beacause of the breakage of synaptonemal complex.

In this case, the result of crossing over can be seen as linkages between non-sister chromatids. Each linkage is called chiasma, which often forms 3 or more in normal meiosis.
