produce haploid gametes. It follows the Leptotene stage and is followed by Pachytene stage. The key event during zygotene is the completion of synapsis between...

The paired chromosomes are called bivalent or tetrad chromosomes. The pachytene stage (/ˈpækɪtiːn/ PAK-i-teen), also known as pachynema, from Greek words...

"crossing-overs" of genetic material are thought to occur during the previous pachytene stage. Sister chromatids also form chiasmata between each other (also...

prophase. Prophase I is divided into five phases: leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis. In addition to the events that occur in mitotic...

prominent in spermatocytes. In spermatocytes, HRR events occur mainly in the pachytene stage of meiosis and the gene conversion type of HRR is predominant, whereas...

one of the final phases of genetic recombination, which occurs in the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis during a process called synapsis. Synapsis...

University in 1960. The difference in the sex chromosomes was noted during the pachytene stage of meiotic prophase. Trionychidae turtles possess a ZZ-ZW sex determinate...

responses occur depending on the meiotic stage: From leptotene to early pachytene, exogenous DNA damage triggers widespread presence of the repair protein...

organized in a discontinuous linear pattern along the condensed chromosomes (pachytene chromosomes) during the prophase stage of meiosis. The linear pattern...
