In the zygotene phase of Prophase I during meiosis I, chromosomes begin to pair through synapsis, forming structures known as homologous chromosomes. The synaptonemal complex develops between these paired chromosomes, which are referred to as bivalents or tetrads.

1. True
2. False
3. Partially correct
4. None of these

Correct answer: True

Solution

The statement is correct as it accurately describes the process of synapsis during zygotene, where homologous chromosomes pair and form a synaptonemal complex, resulting in a bivalent or tetrad.
