Bivalents or Tetrad of homologous chromosomes consisting of four synapsed chromatids that become visible during the Pachytene stage of meiotic prophase

or

A four-part structure that forms during the prophase of meiosis and consists of two homologous chromosomes, each composed of two sister chromatids.

Homologous chromosomes form tetrads during the prophase I stage of meiosis. This is when the homologous chromosomes pair up to exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over, which promotes genetic diversity.

Tetrads form in Prophase 1. As the chromatin condenses, special proteins cause the homologus chromosomes to stick together in pairs. The resulting structure has 4 chromatids and is called a tetrad.

the chromosomes form to tetrads because the cemical property with the cemical will not communtacate so you would need a genorater magnifinglass microscope 7000 . then you could see the cemiclas witch are ununununium , calcuim iron Ect. There are more than 100 cemicals in the world.

In Prophase I of meisosis. A tetrad is also called a bivalent. This happens so that crossing over can occur between non-sister chromatids. Crossing over is a source of genetic variability in the resulting daughter cells, gametes.

During Prophase 1, pairs of homologous chromosomes line up to form tetrads(T) C represents a pair of centrioles that will migrate to the one end of the cell. The term tetrad refers to the four chromatids of the paired homologous chromosomes. Remember that during prophase, each chromosome has two strands of DNA or chromatids

Tetrads are 4 haploid product cells, and they form during Prophase I

They dont form in mitosis. They form in Meiosis in Prophase 1.
