• The Pachytene stage comes under the category of Meiotic division of cells.

• In the Pachytene stage, the bivalents tend to attain a Spiralled, Shortened and thickened body structure.

• The paired homologous chromosomes divide into two chromosomes each.

• Bivalents are also known as "Tetrads".

• During the process of meiosis, crossing over takes place between homologous pairs of chromosomes.

• The process of crossing over of the homologous chromosomes is important because it brings about recombination of characters.
