 A dyad is composed a pair of homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids. It can be found during Anaphase 1 of Meiosis at a process called disjunction. The tetrad migrates into opposite poles of the cell as they are divided into two, which are the dyads. [1]

During Meiosis II, the process starts with dyads (2 haploid cells) instead of tetrads, which is similar to Mitosis. [2]
