G. " ; the junction of two homologous chromosomes during meiosis, to form bivalents.
the pairing of homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis
(sin ap´ sis) • The highly specific parallel alignment (pairing) of homologous chromosomes during the first division of meiosis.
the side by side pairing of homologous maternal and paternal chromosomes at the start of meiosis
The alignment of chromosomes during meiosis I so that each chromosome is beside its homologue.
The close pairing of homologous chromosomes in meiotic prophase which enables crossovers to occur.
Close pairing of homologs at meiosis.
Synapsis is the currently unexplained phenomenon of two homologous chromosomes coming together and lining up side-by-side resulting in a bivalent (also known as a tetrad), or two homologous chromosomes that stay in close association during the first two phases of meiosis I (the stages being Prophase I and Metaphase I).
