While examining a cell in prophase 1 of meiosis you observe a pair of homologous pairing tightly what is the significance of the places at which the chromosomes are joined?

Right after pro-phase one is when chromosomes cross over and join together.This occur in the meiosis process.

What stage in meiosis do homologous chromosomes come together?
During meiosis, the homologous chromosomes come together during prophase I. Pairs of homologous chromosomes align during a process called synapsis and form a tetrad (four sister chromatids, two from each pair of homologous chromosomes). During synapsis, crossing over may occur, during which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material.
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.
What do homologous chromosomes do in prophase 1?
Homologous chromosomes do not pair during mitosis. they only pair in meiosis to form tetrads.
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 is the difference between prophase mitosis and prophase meiosis?
In prophase I of meiosis, crossing over of homologous chromosomes occurs. This does not happen in prophase of mitosis.
How does tetrad form in prophase I of meiosis?
In prophase I, doubled homologous chromosomes group together to form a tetrad.
Two pairs of homologous chromosomes in prophase 1?
one

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.
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.
When Homologous chromosomes swap genetic information as part of meiosis?
Prophase I is the phase of meiosis.
Does homologous chromosomes pair up during meiosis 1?
Yes, during prophase I.
When homologous chromosomes swap pieces during meiosis this is called?
crossing over.
