Question

What is the complex formed by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosome called?

Answer 1

Bivalent:

1. In meiosis I, during the zygotene process, the stage chromosomes begin to pair together is called synapsis.
2. Homologous chromosomes are chromosomes that are linked during the process of synapsis.
3. The complex formed by the pairing of homologous chromosomes is known as bivalent.
4. This stage's electron micrographs show that chromosome synapsis is succeeded by the creation of a complex structure known as the synaptonemal complex.
