Recall the stages of meiosis, which include Meiosis I and Meiosis II, each with their own phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
Understand that during Meiosis I, homologous chromosomes (each consisting of two sister chromatids) pair up and then separate, reducing the chromosome number by half.
Identify that in Prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair and exchange genetic material (crossing over), but they do not separate yet.
Recognize that in Metaphase I, homologous chromosome pairs align at the metaphase plate, preparing for separation.
Know that in Anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles, which is the phase where homologous chromosomes separate.
