I would have to answer yes. Synapis is the association of homologous chromosomes that is characteristic of the first meiotic prophase. During meiosis, most organisms ensure that homologous chromosomes undergo at least one exchange of DNA, or crossover, to link chromosomes together and accomplish proper segregation.

True. That is called synapsis.
Synapsis ensures that homologous non-sister chromosomes come together and undergo crossing over. Moreover, it ensures correct segregation in Anaphase.

i always thought a synapsis occured in the brain cells when a command or idea is followed or made.
