Vedclass · Answer

(C) During the process of meiosis,specifically in the prophase-$I$ stage,homologous chromosomes pair up with each other. This pairing process is known as synapsis. Each pair of homologous chromosomes consists of four chromatids (two from each chromosome),and this structure is referred to as a bivalent or a tetrad. Therefore,the correct term for a pair of homologous chromosomes is a bivalent.

$I$. Leptotene	$A$. Chromosomes appear as clear bivalents/tetrads
$II$. Zygotene	$B$. Chromosomes appear like a thread (beaded appearance)
$III$. Pachytene	$C$. Chromosome condensation reaches its maximum
$IV$. Diakinesis	$D$. Synapsis of homologous chromosomes occurs
