Question
Write about Pachytene of Prophase I.
Solution
Pachytene: At this stage, bivalent chromosomes are clearly visible as tetrads. Bivalent of meiosis I consist of 4 chromatids and 2 centromeres. Synapsis is completed and recombination nodules appear at a site where crossing over takes place between non – sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. Recombination of homologous chromosomes is completed by the end of the stage but the chromosomes are linked at the sites of crossing over. This is mediated by the enzyme recombinase.
