tetrad
the four homologous chromatids that associate during prophase and metaphase of meiosis and are involved in crossing over. A tetrad is also the four haploid cells produced by one complete meiotic division.

Bivalents (tetrads) become aligned in the center of the cell and are attached to spindle fibers.
The chromosome alignment illustrated below is from a cell with a diploid chromosome number of 8.

However, the alignment of chromosomes for prophase is different. Homologous chromosomes join into tetrads (so called because each tetrad contains four chromatids), and the tetrads line up on the metaphase plane .

metaphase I: the phase during meiosis in which tetrads align on the equatorial plate (as in mitosis).
metaphase II: the phase during meiosis II in which the chromatid pairs gather at the center of the cell prior to separation.

They may also be referred to as a tetrad, a reference to the four sister chromatids. During this stage, one percent of DNA that wasn't replicated during S phase is replicated. The significance of this cleanup act is unclear.

AP-1 is actually a complex between c-fos protein and c-jun protein, or sometimes is just c-jun dimers. The AP-1 site consensus sequence is (C/G) TGACT(C/A) A. Also known as the TPA-response element (TRE). (TPA is a phorbol ester, tetradecanoyl ...
