Quick Answer. The synapsis process occurs in the prophase I stage of meiosis. In synapsis, replicated homologous chromosomes link, which become known as a tetrad. Crossover between two pairs of tetrads can occur at any time. Continue Reading.
Reset 1  âº. At the start of prophase I, the chromosomes have already duplicated. During prophase I, they coil and become shorter and thicker and visible under the light microscope. 2  The duplicated homologous chromosomes pair, and crossing-over (the physical exchange of chromosome parts) occurs. Crossing-over is the process that can give rise to genetic recombination. At this point, each homologous chromosome pair is visible as a bivalent (tetrad), a tight grouping of two chromosomes, each consisting of two sister chromatids.
