Subjective Type
Describe the following : (a) Synapsis (b) Bivalent (c) Chiasmata Draw a diagram to illustrate your answer
Solution
(a) Synapsis : The pairing of homologous chromosomes is called as synapsis. This occurs during the second stage of prophase I or zygotene.
Synapsis
(b) Bivalent : Bivalent or tetrad is a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes. They are formed during the zygotene stage of prophase I of meiosis.
Bivalent
(c) Chiasmata : Chiasmata is the site where two non-sister chromatids have crossed over. It represents the site of cross-over. It is formed during the diplotene stage of prophase I of meiosis.
Chiasmata
