| That association presumably assists in pairing and is later lost during leptotene and replaced with a loose bouquet formation in zygotene. |
| Zygotene and pachytene chromosomes can be distinguished by their different morphology due to the extent of synapsis. |
| The respective frequencies of the leptotene, zygotene and pachytene stages as well as the frequencies of the four substages of pachytene were evaluated. |
| These DSBs are then repaired by interaction with the homologues during the zygotene and pachytene stages. |
| Also, the space between individual chromosomes is less in zygotene than in pachytene. |
| Similar studies were developed with Lily, being detected the presence of RAD51 and LIM15 proteins as discrete signals in leptotene and zygotene. |
