Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four daughter cells. It consists of two stages: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
Recognize that a tetrad is a group of four chromatids formed by the pairing of two homologous chromosomes during meiosis.
Recall that the formation of tetrads is a key event in meiosis, specifically during the first division, Meiosis I.
Identify that during Prophase I of Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up in a process called synapsis, forming tetrads.
Conclude that the stage of meiosis where tetrads form is Prophase I, as this is when homologous chromosomes come together and exchange genetic material through crossing over.
