EOG8XSP73 GO:0007130 1/12 synaptonemal complex assembly biological_process "The cell cycle process in which the synaptonemal complex is formed. This is a structure that holds paired chromosomes together during prophase I of meiosis and that promotes genetic recombination." [ISBN:0198506732] EOG8XSP73 GO:0007129 1/12 synapsis biological_process "The meiotic cell cycle process where side by side pairing and physical juxtaposition of homologous chromosomes is created during meiotic prophase. Synapsis begins when the chromosome arms begin to pair from the clustered telomeres and ends when synaptonemal complex or linear element assembly is complete."
