Explanation:

This is because meoisis division occurs in gamates which are sperm cell and egg cell . And in meoisis division the number of chromosomes for the daughter cells is half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell have. This is because when there is a fussion of male and female sex cells ,the zygote which is the daughter cell should have the 46 chromosomes which is the normal chromosomes for humans and when this chromosomes are in pairs then they should be in 23 pairs of chromosomes which are haploid and later be used for another cycle when the person matures and ready to reproduce

What structure is most important in forming the tetrads?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- synaptonemal complex.

Explanation:

The tetrad arrangement of the genetic material in an organism is mediated by a highly conserved structure known as the synaptonemal complex.  The synaptonemal complex is formed during the prophase I of the meiosis I which attaches the chromatin of the homologous chromosomes.

The synaptonemal complex is a proteinaceous structure which is formed by the two lateral ladders like elements with a central portion composed of the central element. The chromatin gets attached to the lateral elements while the central a portion bridge space between the two ladders thus help in the formation of the tetrad.

Thus, option- synaptonemal complex is the correct answer.
