Term Information

Accession
GO:0007129
Name
homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
chromosomal pairing, chromosomal synapsis, synapsis
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The meiotic cell cycle process where side by side pairing and physical juxtaposition of homologous chromosomes is created during meiotic prophase. Homologous chromosome pairing begins when the chromosome arms begin to pair from the clustered telomeres and ends when synaptonemal complex or linear element assembly is complete.
