Answer:
Synapsis is the process where homologous chromosomes pair with their counterparts and sections of the chromosomes exchanged during meiosis.
Explanation:
Synapsis takes place during prophase I of meiosis which is a pairing of two homologous chromosomes and sections of chromosomes exchanged, prior to segregation. Without synapsis, there will be no crossing over. So synapsis is also important for the variations of the offsprings.
