Understand the process of meiosis, which consists of two consecutive divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I is where homologous chromosomes are separated, and Meiosis II is where sister chromatids are separated.
Review the stages of Meiosis I: Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, and Telophase I. Each stage has distinct events that contribute to the separation of chromosomes.
In Prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through crossing over, but they are not yet separated.
During Metaphase I, homologous pairs of chromosomes align at the metaphase plate, preparing for separation.
In Anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell. This is the phase where the separation of homologous pairs occurs.
