Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Synapsis is the process of pairing of homologous chromosomes during meiosis, which leads to the formation of a tetrad of maternal and paternal chromosomes. Spermiogenesis is the process of spermatid maturation into sperm cells, meiosis is the overall process of cell division that reduces the chromosome number in gametes, transformation is a genetic process that alters the DNA sequence, and cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm that occurs at the end of cell division.
