〔生〕（染色体）结合，联会
Example sentencesExamples
- It has long been thought that the grouping of telomeres is important for chromosome pairing and subsequent synapsis.
- It was proposed that these sites mediated the initial interactions between homologous chromosomes leading to synapsis and recombination.
- Some chromosomes may be unable to re-establish homologous synapsis after the insertion.
- Several of these articles dealt with mutants affecting synapsis, meiosis, or disjunction.
- These findings suggest that the extensive protein modification that occurs to prepare chromosomes for synapsis and recombination may provide at least a partial mechanism by which rereplication is blocked.

Origin

Late 19th century: modern Latin, from Greek sunapsis 'connection, junction'.
