What is the complex structure formed during the zygotene stage as a result of synapsis?
Synaptonemal complex
Recombination nodules
Tetrads
Chromosomal compaction
Solution
During the zygotene stage, synapsis between chromosomes is accompanied by the formation of a complex structure called the synaptonemal complex. This structure is formed as a result of the association between homologous chromosomes.
