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. .

It happens during interphase of the cell cycle.
What phase happens only once in meiosis?
Interphase only happens once during meiosis. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis all happen twice.

during meiosis

In Meiosis I: Separates homologous chromosomes In Meiosis II: Separates sister chromatids
