Definition of leptotene in English:

leptotene

noun ˈlɛptə(ʊ)tiːnˈleptəˌtēn

mass nounBiology

The first stage of the prophase of meiosis, during which each chromosome becomes visible as two fine threads (chromatids).
Example sentencesExamples
- The bouquet forms at late leptotene and early zygotene and is coincident with chromosome pairing.
- Early recombination nodules are protein complexes 100 nm in diameter that are associated with forming synaptonemal complexes during leptotene and zygotene of meiosis.
- Early meiotic stages, leptotene or zygotene, were observed.
- That association presumably assists in pairing and is later lost during leptotene and replaced with a loose bouquet formation in zygotene.

Origin

Early 20th century: from lepto- 'narrow, fine' + Greek tainia 'band, ribbon'.
