The complex formed by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes is called
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Bivalent
During the prophase of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair and form synapses. The paired chromosomes are called bivalents. The bivalent has two chromosomes and four chromatids, with one chromosome coming from each parent.
Equatorial plate - An arrangement of the centromeres of chromosomes in which they lie approximately in one plane, at the equator of the spindle. This is seen during metaphase of mitosis and meiosis.
Kinetochore - a complex of proteins associated with the centromere of a chromosome during cell division, to which the microtubules of the spindle attach.
Axoneme - is the central strand of a cilium or flagellum. It is composed of an array of microtubules, typically in nine pairs around two single central ones.
