Where is the connection established between homologous chromosomes in Prophase 1 of meiotic division?
Between homologue chromosomes from their synaptic regions
What does each chromosome coming from both mother and father separate into during Prophase 1 of meiotic division?
Chromatins
'Bivalent or tetrad' refers to which specific structure formed during meiotic division?

Test your knowledge on kinetochores and their role in mitotic division. Learn about the alignment of homologous chromosomes, the pulling of sister chromatids, and the depolymerization of kinetochore microtubules. Challenge yourself with questions related to the process from metaphase to telophase.
