Synapsis is the pairing of two homologous chromosomes that occurs during meiosis. It allows matching-up of homologous pairs prior to their segregation, and possible chromosomal crossover between them.

Synapsis takes place during prophase I of meiosis.

It is also called as Syndesis.

Blood alcohol concentration is affected by factors such as body size and gender. Women are usually smaller than men, and that they turn out less of the enzyme that breaks down alcohol.

For those reasons, most girls can have a higher BAC than the typical male if they each drink an identical quantity of alcohol.

The order of basicity for primary, secondary and tertiary amines are:

Secondary > Primary > Tertiary > NH3

* Amines are basic in nature as they have lone pair of electrons on nitrogen. Therefore, they have a strong tendency to donate this lone pair of electrons to electron acceptors.

* The stability of conjugate acids formed is dependent on the extent of H-bonding,and greater the number of H-atoms on N more stable is the conjugate acid.

* The conjugate acid of primary amine is the most stable with greater number (3) of H-bonds than > Secondary > tertiary. But primary amines are less basic than secondary as the electron density on the N atom is less and lone pair of electrons are not readily available for protonation.

* The two opposing factors i.e. the stability of conjugate acids formed and ease of availability of electrons for Protonation, balance each other in case of secondary amines and it is most basic.
