  1. The complex formed by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes is called
    1. Kinetochore
    2. Bivalent
    3. Axoneme
    4. Equatorial plate
Correct Option: B

During zygotene, second stage of meiosis I, homologous chromosomes start pairing together forming a complex structure called synaptonemal complex. The complex formed by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosome is called a bivalent or a tetrad. Crossing over occurs between non sister chromatids of bivalent in the next stage.
