During synapsis, which occurs in prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair closely together to form a structure called a tetrad. This process allows for genetic recombination through crossing over, where segments of DNA are exchanged between non-sister chromatids. This exchange increases genetic diversity in the resulting gametes. Ultimately, synapsis ensures proper alignment and segregation of chromosomes during meiosis.

True or False Explain A chromosome in a primary human oocyte may synapse with any other chromosome in the same cell?
Synapse occurs specifically between homologous pairs. Homologous chromosomes are non-identical chromosomes that can pair (synapse) during meiosis. Except for the sex chromosomes, homologous chromosomes share significant sequence similarity across their entire length, typically contain the same sequence of genes, and pair up to allow for proper disjunction during meiosis

Are sister chromatids are held together by a structure called synapse?
No, sister chromatids are held together by a structure called the centromere, not synapse. The term "synapse" refers to the junction between two neurons or the pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis, not the connection of sister chromatids. During cell division, sister chromatids remain attached at the centromere until they are separated during mitosis or meiosis.
What happens during the segregation of chromosomes?
Homologous chromosomes pairs pull away from each other.

A maternal homologue and a paternal homologue synapse to form?
a pair of homologous chromosomes during meiosis. This pairing is called synapsis and allows for genetic recombination to occur between the maternal and paternal chromosomes, contributing to genetic diversity in offspring.
What happens to the number of chromosomes during meiosis?
During meiosis, the number of chromosomes is halved. This process results in the formation of sex cells (sperm and egg) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
