Question:
What will happen if zygotene stage is skipped by the cells?
Answer:
Zygotene is the second stage of Prophase I. It occurs after leptotene. A diploid cell contains two set of chromosomes. The two chromosomes which are similar in form, size, structure are called homologous chromosomes. One of the homologous chromosomes is paternal chromosome and the other is maternal chromosome.
During zygotene, these homologous chromosomes start pairing together. These homologous chromosome come to lie side by side in pairs and this pairing is known as synapsis. The complex formed by a pair of synapsed chromosome is called bivalent. If zygotene is skipped, then crossing over, recombinations would not occur. Meiosis would not occur and gamete would not be properly formed.
