Answer:
Prophase I stage of meiosis
Explanation:
Meiosis is a kind of cell division that reduces the chromosomal number of the daughter cells by half. Prior to the division of the cytoplasmic content of the cell (cytokinensis), the genetic material (DNA) also needs to be separated.
The DNA is the genetic material that hold information needed for production of certain products in an organism. It is found as Chromatin (which is a complex of DNA wrapped around histone proteins) in an undividing cell. This Chromatin material undergoes condensation and becomes compact to form a visible structure called CHROMOSOME. This condensation of DNA occurs in the Prophase I and II stages of meiosis.
