Synapsis in Prophase I involves homologous chromosomes pairing to form tetrads held together by chiasmata, which are sites of genetic material crossover between non-sister chromatids, leading to recombination.
La sinapsis en la Profase I implica el apareamiento de cromosomas homólogos en tétradas, mantenidas por quiasmas, que son sitios de entrecruzamiento de material genético entre cromátidas no hermanas, resultando en recombinación.
| Original | homologoes chromosomes pair up to form a tetrad are held together at points called chiasmata (singular: chiasma) this is site of genetic material crossover between non-sister chromatids --> recombination with new genes |
