Definitions Found:
the second stage of prophase in meiosis, during which strands of homologous chromosomes line up and become pairs
- zygotenethe second stage of prophase in meiosis, during which strands of homologous chromosomes line up and become pairs
- prophaseThe first stage of cell division, before metaphase, during which the chromosomes become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears. The first prophase of meiosis includes the reduction division
- diploteneThe fourth stage of the prophase of meiosis, following pachytene, during which the paired chromosomes begin to separate into two pairs of chromatids
- diplotenesThe fourth stage of the prophase of meiosis, following pachytene, during which the paired chromosomes begin to separate into two pairs of chromatids
