Definition of pachytene in English:

pachytene

noun ˈpakɪtiːnˈpakəˌtēn

mass nounBiology

The third stage of the prophase of meiosis, following zygotene, during which the paired chromosomes shorten and thicken, the two chromatids of each separate, and exchange of segments between chromatids may occur.
〔生〕粗线期
Example sentencesExamples
- Homologous chromosomes are fully aligned at the pachytene stage, and germ cells survive to complete meiosis and gametogenesis with high efficiency.
- Zygotene and pachytene chromosomes can be distinguished by their different morphology due to the extent of synapsis.
- In addition, Creighton used pachytene stage chromosomes to continue deletion mapping studies.
- During pachytene, the chromosomes are less condensed and much longer than in mitotic metaphases.
- This structural heterozygosity correlates with both a previously described recombination block and cytologically visible unpaired chromosomes at pachytene.

Origin

Early 20th century: from Greek pakhus 'thick' + tainia 'band'.
