Question
Describe Chiasmata and Draw a diagram to illustrate your answer.
Solution
- The disintegration of the synaptonemal complex and the tendency of the synaptically synaptic homologous chromosomes of the bivalents to split apart, with the exception of crossover sites, indicate the onset of diplotene.
- Chiasmata are the X-shaped attachment sites (or points of attachment) that exist between homologous chromosomes.
