WHAT DOES PACHYTENE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

pachytene

Meiosis

Meiosis i/maɪˈoʊsɨs/ is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction in eukaryotes, such as animals, plants and fungi. The number of sets of chromosomes in the cell undergoing meiosis is reduced to half the original number, typically from two sets to one set. The cells produced by meiosis are either gametes or otherwise usually spores from which gametes are ultimately produced. In many organisms, including all animals and land plants, gametes are called sperm in males and egg cells or ova in females. Since meiosis has halved the number of sets of chromosomes, when two gametes fuse during fertilisation, the number of sets of chromosomes in the resulting zygote is restored to the original number. Meiotic division occurs in two stages, meiosis I and meiosis II, dividing the cells once at each stage. Before meiosis begins, during S phase of the cell cycle, the DNA of each chromosome is replicated, so that each chromosome has two sister chromatids; a diploid organism now has a tetraploid DNA amount in the cell.

Definition of pachytene in the English dictionary

The definition of pachytene in the dictionary is the third stage of the prophase of meiosis during which the chromosomes become shorter and thicker and divide into chromatids.
