Class 11 Biology - Chapter Cell cycle and Cell Division NCERT Solutions | Describe the following: (a) synapsis (b)
Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 11th Biology - Chapter Cell cycle and Cell Division. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 7: describe the following a synapsis b bivalent....
Question 7
Describe the following:
Describe the following:
(a) synapsis
(b) bivalent
(c) chiasmata
Draw a diagram to illustrate your answer.
Answer
(a) Synapsis
The pairing of homologous chromosomes is called synapsis. This occurs during the second stage of prophase I or zygotene.
(b) Bivalent
Bivalent or tetrad is a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes. They are formed during the zygotene stage of prophase I of meiosis.
(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.
