Chromatids Prophase Called Meiosis I Homologous Chromosomes Intertwine

Text
Meiosis: During prophase I homologous chromosomes intertwine in synapsis; each synaptic pair contains four chromatids called a tetrad 
Meiosis, Prophase I: that point where chromatids break during the synapsis is called the chiasma or chiasmata(p) & exchange pieces of DNA; the process is called crossing over; never between sister chromatids
