The stage of cell division in which paired homologous chromosomes get shortened and thickened is prophase I of meiosis. During this stage, the chromosomes condense and become visible as distinct structures, allowing for the homologous chromosomes to pair up and exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over. The shortening and thickening of the chromosomes during prophase I is important for proper alignment and separation of the homologous chromosomes during subsequent...

Sigma bond is stronger than Pi bond because of the following reasons:
- The extent of overlapping in Sigma bond is greater than in Pi bond.
- The electron density in intermolecular axis is more in Sigma bond than in Pi bond.
- There is free rotation of atom about Sigma bond but not about Pi bond.
