when do homologous chromosomes form tetrads?
434544
Prophase I: The nuclear envelope breaks down. The chromatin condenses into chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes containing the two chromatids come together to form tetrads, joining at their centromeres (2n 4c). This is when “crossing over” occurs, which creates genetic variation.

An organism whose somatic cells are tetraploid (four sets of chromosomes), for example, will produce gametes by meiosis that contain two sets of chromosomes. These gametes might still be called haploid even though they are numerically diploid.

crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes in prophase I, before chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate. homologous chromosomes separate to daughter cells (sister chromatids do not separate) in the first division, creating haploid (1N) cells.

The sister chromatids remain stuck (stapled) together until the next phase of meiosis (meiosis II), and then they are also pulled apart. ... Also, don't forget that there are 23 different tetrads formed during meiosis because each chromosome 1-23 will have a tetrad.

Anaphase I: Homologues separate to opposite ends of the cell. Sister chromatids stay together. Telophase I: Newly forming cells are haploid, n = 2. Each chromosome still has two sister chromatids, but the chromatids of each chromosome are no longer identical to each other.

A gamete has one-half the number of chromosomes of a regular body cell. Homologous chromosomes are two chromosomes with identical DNA sequences. False, Homologous chromosomes contain the same genes as one another, but the DNA sequences vary.

Homologous and non-homologous chromosomes are the two types of chromosomes found in the genome. Homologous chromosomes pair during meiosis. The homologous pair consists of alleles of the same genes in the same loci in both chromosomes. But, non-homologous chromosomes consist of alleles of different genes.
278661
A pair of homologous chromosomes, each consisting of a single chromatid in a daughter cell at the end of mitosis, has alleles from the father and from the mother, and counts as 2 chromosomes.

Meiosis II After the tetrads of homologous chromosomes are separated in meiosis I, the sister chromatids from each pair are separated. ... The sister chromatids in the two daughter cells are pulled apart during anaphase II by nuclear spindle fibers, resulting in four haploid daughter cells.
1381666
Homologous chromosomes are present in both mitosis and meiosis, but they don't form pairs in mitosis. Rather they will form homologous chromosome pairs during meiosis, which allows for crossing over to occur.
751153
During prophase I, the homologous chromosomes condense and become visible as the x shape we know, pair up to form a tetrad, and exchange genetic material by crossing over. ... In telophase I, chromosomes move to opposite poles; during cytokinesis the cell separates into two haploid cells.

The absence of homologous pairs in haploid cells is the reason why no further crossing over occurs during prophase II. After crossing over, the tetrads (recombinant chromosome pairs) can be separated. Tetrads contain 23 chromosome pairs composed of 92 chromatids.

Since homologous chromosomes are not identical and do not originate from the same organism, they are different from sister chromatids. Sister chromatids result after DNA replication has occurred, and thus are identical, side-by-side duplicates of each other.

Terminology: Tetrad, Bivalent, Dyad, Monad: The paired chromosomes at prophase I can be called a tetrad or bivalent. A chromosome consisting of just one chromatid is a monad. If it has two chromatids, it is a dyad.

Five Key Differences In metaphase I of meiosis, tetrads align on the metaphase plate. In metaphase of mitosis, individual chromosomes align there. In anaphase I of meiosis, centromeres don't divide, and sister chromatids don't separate. ... In mitosis, there is only one division and it produces two daughter cells.

46 chromosomes forming 23 pairs of homologous chromosomes. length, centromere position, and staining pattern. The two chromosomes of a matching pair in which each chromosome carries genes controlling the same inherited characteristics. Two chromosomes of a homologous pair may have different versions of the same gene.

Dyads align at the spindle equator. Sister chromatids face opposite spindle poles. Synapsis and crossing-over occur, Tetrads are at spindle equator, Homologues separate, Haploid daughter nuclei are not genetically identical to parent cell.
