Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During meiosis I, chromosomes from maternal and paternal systems undergo synapsis, where they fuse together to form a tetrad, also known as a bivalent. This process allows for homologous recombination before the separation of chromosomes during meiosis I. So, option E, synapsis and tetrad, is the best choice.
