| synaptonemal complex | <cell biology> Structure, identified by electron microscopy, lying between chromosomes during synapsis, consists of two lateral plates closely apposed to the chromosomes and connected to a central plate by filaments. It appears to act as a scaffold and is essential for crossing over. (18 Nov 1997) |
