General Information
Term homologous chromosome pairing at meiosis ID (Ontology) GO:0007129 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The meiotic cell cycle process where side by side pairing and physical juxtaposition of homologous chromosomes is created during meiotic prophase. Homologous chromosome pairing begins when the chromosome arms begin to pair from the clustered telomeres and ends when synaptonemal complex or linear element assembly is complete.[ PubMed:22582262 PubMed:23117617 PubMed:31811152 ]
