The pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is called what?

synapsis


What stage in meiosis do homologous chromosomes come together?

During meiosis, the homologous chromosomes come together during prophase I. Pairs of homologous chromosomes align during a process called synapsis and form a tetrad (four sister chromatids, two from each pair of homologous chromosomes). During synapsis, crossing over may occur, during which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material.

Could crossing over occur during second meiotic division?

No, tips of homologous chromosomes cross over in Meiosis I. There are no homologous chromosomes by Meiosis I.

What is it called when homologous chromosomes trade alleles?

Crossing-over is when segments of homologous chromosomes switch places. This process occurs during prophase I of meiosis and results in recombinant chromosomes. This adds to the variation seen in offspring.
