chiasma occurs in meiosis.
Fascinating that I didn't answer this question but it's attributed to me so I guess I'll add some detail. Chiasma means crossing/intersecting and are the
points where recombination occurs duting meoisis. (Crossing over does not
occur in mitosis).
Chiasma(singular) or chiasmata (plural) are formed during prophaseof meiosis I duing recombination and hold homologous chromosomes together at the sites where the exchanges of genetic material occur. These "connections: remain in place until until the chromosomes seperate during anaphase.

What is the definition of chiasm?
Alt. of Chiasma
What cant be seen as one looks into the eye with an ophthalmoscope?
Optic Chiasm - a crossing point of the optic nerves.
What is the crossing of the optic nerves called?
optic chiasma
What is the site of crossing over between two non-sister chromatids?
The site of crossing over between two non-sister chromatids is called the chiasma. It is a physical point where genetic material is exchanged during meiosis. This exchange leads to genetic recombination and increased genetic diversity among offspring.
What is the noun for mitotic?
The word 'mitotic' is the adjective form of the noun mitosis.
An average of one chiasma during meiosis is equal to how many centiMorgans of genetic distance?
One chiasma during meiosis is roughly equivalent to about 1-2 centiMorgans of genetic distance. Chiasma is a physical representation of recombination events occurring during meiosis, leading to the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes. This recombination and genetic exchange are key factors in the linkage between genes on a chromosome.
What is the chiasma?
A chiasma is a cross-shaped structure that forms during meiosis when non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material. This process is known as genetic recombination and helps increase genetic diversity in offspring.
Crossovers between non-sister chromatids during meiosis form?
chiasma
What is optic tract?
An Optic Tract is the pathway between the optic chiasma and the brain.
Where is the optic nereves and chiasma the pituitary gland and mammillary bodies located?
The optic nerves and chiasma are located in the brain, specifically in the area of the optic tracts near the base of the brain. The pituitary gland is situated beneath the brain, near the optic chiasma. The mammillary bodies are part of the hypothalamus, located at the base of the brain near the pituitary gland.
Are neurons mitotic?
no
Is the mitotic spindle primarily composed of microtubules?
Yes, the mitotic spindle is primarily composed of microtubules.
