Red blood cells do not contain tetrads because they lack a nucleus. Tetrads are typically found in cells undergoing meiosis, specifically during prophase I when homologous chromosomes pair up.

Do liver cells contain connective tissue?

Connective tissue is made of cells, and cells do not contain other cells (if they are healthy; bacterial infection would be an exception). Cells do contain structural elements that connect them to other cells, but that is not the same thing as connective tissue.

How is forming tetrads in prophase 1 different from mitosis?

Tetrads don't form in mitosis. Tetrads form so that chromosomes can undergo crossing over which is a form of genetic recombination. The products of meiosis are gametes which ensure genetic diversity in subsequent generations. In mitosis, the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell. No genetic recombination occurs in mitosis.


What is the functional role of forming tetrads in meiosis and or mitosis?

Tetrads only appear in meiosis. The tetrad is the joining of four chromosomes in prophase I of meiosis. Two male duplicated chromosomes and two female chromosomes. The most important role of tetrad formation is ' crossing over. ' This is the exchange of genetic information between the male and female chromosomes. The material, whole genes, is physically swapped between the male and female chromosomes.
