Q. During meoisis I, chromosomes start pairing at

KPC MedicalKPC Medical 2013Cell Cycle and Cell Division

Solution:

During zygotene or zygonema of meiotic prophase I the chromosomes become shorter and thicker. The homologous chromosomes come to lie side-by-side in pairs. This pairing of homologous chromosomes is known as synapsis, or syndesis. A pair of homologous chromosomes lying together is called a bivalent.
