alleryThe synaptonemal complex is formed during:
AAnaphase
BZygotene (synapsis); fully formed in pachytene
CTelophase
DLeptotene
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Zygotene (synapsis); fully formed in pachytene
**Synaptonemal complex:** protein structure that holds paired homologous chromosomes together during meiosis I. Forms at zygotene
mature in pachytene (when crossing over occurs)
disassembles in diplotene.
Critical for proper recombination.
