Homologous chromosomes in pro-phase 1 arrange themselves as tetrads. A tetrad is a set of four copies of a chromosome--the two original pairs, and the two copies the cell has made.

What will happen to the cell as it undergoes prophase 1?
In prophase I the homologous chromosomes pair and form tetrads, during which crossing over occurs and genetic material is exchanged between the homologous chromosomes. Refer to the related link for an animated illustration.
Two pairs of homologous chromosomes in prophase 1?
one
During what phase do maternal and paternal homologous chromosomes pair?
Two pairs of homologous chromosomes line up and form a tetrad near the beginning of prophase I of meiosis. The tetrads then perform the crossing over and recombination process before migrating to the cell equator.
Does homologous chromosomes pair up during meiosis 1?
Yes, during prophase I.
How does non-disjunction occur?
Nondisjuction occurs when the homologous chromosomes fail to separate.
What do homologous chromosomes do in prophase 1?
Homologous chromosomes do not pair during mitosis. they only pair in meiosis to form tetrads.

Two pairs of homologous chromosomes in prophase 1?
one
What would happen if homologous chromosomes did not pair in prophase 1?
if homologous chromosomes didn't pair up in Prophase 1 the DNA between the parents isn't distributed equally to the offspring, or variation would not occur.
During what phase do maternal and paternal homologous chromosomes pair?
Two pairs of homologous chromosomes line up and form a tetrad near the beginning of prophase I of meiosis. The tetrads then perform the crossing over and recombination process before migrating to the cell equator.
Does homologous chromosomes pair up during meiosis 1?
Yes, during prophase I.
What is the prophase 1?
Prophase I is the stage in meiosis in which homologous chromosomes pair up. During this time, chromatids from the homologous pairs cross over and exchange segments with one another.
What happens to homologous chromosomes during prophase 1 of meiosis which does not occur during prophase of mitosis?
In mitosis each daughter cell ends up with the same number of chromosomes as the mother cell.
What phase of meiosis do homologous chromosomes cross over?
Crossing over begins early in prophase I of meiosis. At the time, homologous chromosomes Are paired along their lengths. Each gene on one homologue ia alined precisely with the corresponding gene on the other homologue. Source: my science book copy right 2006
How does non-disjunction occur?
Nondisjuction occurs when the homologous chromosomes fail to separate.
When do the homologous chromosomes form tetrads?
Bivalents or Tetrad of homologous chromosomes consisting of four synapsed chromatids that become visible during the Pachytene stage of meiotic prophase or A four-part structure that forms during the prophase of meiosis and consists of two homologous chromosomes, each composed of two sister chromatids.
The process of cell division that creates genetic variety in cells is what?
Genetic variation occurs due to crossing over at prophase 1 and independent assortment of homologous chromosomes at metaphase 1. Both prophase 1 and metaphase 1 are stages of meiosis 1, in which homologous chromosomes are separated.
