quadrivalent

quadrivalent
A chromosome configuration visible in late prophase and metaphase of the first meiotic division, where four chromosomes are linked by chiasmata. Can occur in autotetraploids when four homologous chromosomes pair, or in diploids as a result of heterozygosity for a reciprocal translocation between two non-homologous chromosomes.
