Question

question 8
homologous chromosomes pair together (synapse) in ______________.
○ prophase
○ anaphase i
○ prophase i
○ prophase ii

Explanation:

Homologous chromosome synapsis is a key event in meiosis I. Prophase I of meiosis is when homologous chromosomes pair up to form tetrads, which does not occur in mitotic prophase, Anaphase I (where paired homologs separate), or Prophase II (meiosis II, no homolog pairing).

Answer:

C. Prophase I
