During which stage of meiosis does synapsis occur?
A
Prophase I
B
Telophase I
C
Anaphase II
D
Metaphase I
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that synapsis is the process where homologous chromosomes pair up closely along their lengths during meiosis.
Recall that meiosis consists of two divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II, each with distinct stages (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase).
Identify that synapsis specifically occurs during Prophase I of Meiosis I, when homologous chromosomes undergo pairing and crossing over.
Recognize that Telophase I, Anaphase II, and Metaphase I are stages where chromosomes are either separating or aligning, not pairing.
Conclude that the stage of meiosis during which synapsis occurs is Prophase I.
