A bivalent.Sister chromatids are normally joined at the centromere. When homologous chromosomes pair, the two sister chromatids of one chromosome join with the two sister chromatids of the other chromosome. So it is really the joining of non-sister chromatids that is special.The word "bivalent" refers to the temporary combining of the two chromosomes (four chromatids). The bivalent forms in prophase I of meiosis, and is split in anaphase I.
bivalent
chromatin along with chromosomal matrix form the chromosomes.
The highly condensed forms of DNA (and proteins) are known as chromosomes.
The five cell cycles are: Telophase (Cell wall pinches in, nuclear membranes are formed, two daughter cells are produced.) Interphase (You can cell the nucleolus, you can see uncoiled chromatin, you cannot see chromosomes.) Prophase (Chromatin uncoils, chromosomes appear, chromosomes duplicate to form sister chromatids, spindle forms between centrioles.) Metaphase (Chromosomes move to the middle of spindles.) Anaphase (Sister chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of cell, each chromatid is now a chromosome.)
In prophase 1 the pair of homologous Chromosomes come together to form a tetravalent or bivalent, which contains four chromatids.
A bivalent contains two duplicated homologous chromosomes.

metaphase 1
Soon before interphase ends, the chromosomes duplicate. During prophase, the chromosomes line up in their pairs. Metaphase has the chromosomes centering to be split, while anaphase splits the chromosomes apart. Telophase forms the new nuclei, and finally divides the cell into two.
