Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a polyploidy organism, sometimes three homologues will synapse and partially pair with each of the others forming a trivalent. A univalent refers to a single, unpaired chromosome, a bivalent refers to two paired homologous chromosomes, and trisomic refers to an individual having an extra copy of a chromosome. Hectovalent is not a recognized term in genetics.
