  • Understanding Tetrads: Formation and Significance in Meiosis
    Four chromatids combined make up a tetrad.

    Here's why:

    * Chromatids: These are identical copies of a single chromosome that are joined together at the centromere.

    * Tetrad: A tetrad is formed during meiosis when homologous chromosomes pair up, creating a structure with four chromatids (two from each chromosome). This pairing allows for crossing over, which increases genetic diversity.
