6113310449synapsis-occurs during prophase of meiosis I -homologous chromosomes pair up in a tetrad, bivalent, or synaptonemal complex -preparation for crossover27

6113314715crossing over-occurs during prophase I of meiosis -exchange of genetic material between nonsister chromatids -increases variation in offspring -produces recombinant chromosomes consisting of combined genes from two parents -occurs after synapsis29
6113335008metaphase (mitosis vs. meiosis)-in MITOSIS, sister chromatids separate; in MEIOSIS I, homologous pairs separate -mitotic daughter cells are identical to each other and to the parent cell -because of the exchange of genetic material during meiosis(cross over), gametes are very different from each other30
