Synapsis occurs during meiosis, the stage between cells division and chromosome recombination. The re-pairing process is called synapsis.

Synapsis because a tetrad is the structure formed when the homologous double stranded chromosomes (4 chromatids) come together during the synapsis of meiosis.


What happens during synapsas in meiosis?

The purpose of synapsis in meiosis is to increase genetic variability. It does this as the homolog pairs match up, which means there are 4 chromosomes of like, but possibly unique, DNA data in the grouping. This allows the cell. as it proceeds through Anaphase 1 and Anaphase 2 to separate the individual chromosomes first into 2 pairs then as individuals, which inturn adds to the variability as 1 chromosome goes to each daughter cell. .

Why is synapsis important to meiosis?

Synapsis creates genetic variability. So the haploid cells produced during meiosis will be different. If this didn't happen, one successful virus is all it would take to eradicate the human race.
