Answer: D. Nuclear Membrane breaks down

Explanation:

  • During prophase, duplicated chromosomes condense, shorten, and thicken
  • Homologous chromosomes come together and form pairs. This is called synapsis. Crossing over takes place
  • The membrane around the nucleus breaks apart and the nucleolus disappears

Also, the nuclear membrane needs to break down in order to replicate the parent's chromosomes and make a new cell in the first phase of meiosis.
