    `Synapsis` (also called `syndesis`) is the pairing of two homologous chromosomes that occurs during doi=10.1016/j.bbaexp.2003.11.017-->--> It allows matching-up of homologous pairs prior to their segregation, and possible chromosomal crossover between them. Synapsis takes place during prophase I. Wh...
