During this process, tetrads form and establish chiasmata, allowing genes to cross over.
The synaptonemal complex forms during this process, which does not occur in bdelloids. It features the pachytene and leptotene stages and produces polar bodies in females. During this process, tetrads form and establish chiasmata, allowing genes to cross over. Genetic disorders can result from nondisjunction in this process, which begins with prophase I. In this process accompanying oogenesis and spermatogenesis, diploid cells divide into four haploid gamete cells. For 10 points, name this process necessary for sexual reproduction.
