anaphase you? If it's anaphase I, it's just bivalent. If it's anaphase II, it's a sister chromatid.
The process which you are talking about is "Meiosis"... Actually, this process is carried out in gamete producing cells like sperms and eggs. Meiosis process is divided into two parts: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.Meiosis I has four phases: Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I nad Telophase I.During Anaphase I of Meiosis I of Meiosis cell division, homologous pairs of chromosomes are separated and stretched toward opposite poles of the cell with the help of Microtubules organelle of the cell.
In meiosis (cell division to form gametes), the division that makes the cell haploid is called anaphase II. At anaphase I the homologous pairs are separated, but in anaphase II the chromatids are separated, which makes the cell haploid (the number of chromosomes is halved)
The chromosomes split equally and move to the opposite sides of the cell.
During meiosis, the homologous chromosomes come together during prophase I. Pairs of homologous chromosomes align during a process called synapsis and form a tetrad (four sister chromatids, two from each pair of homologous chromosomes). During synapsis, crossing over may occur, during which homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material.
The process described in your question is called anaphase. One can remember this step of the cell cycle easily because the chromosomes form 'A' shapes at the ends of the poles- and 'A' is of course the first letter of anaphase. The next step in the cell cycle is telophase- where the cell undergoes cytokinesis- splitting to form two new cells.

Usually they dont as homologous chromosomes form bivalents with other homologous chromosomes and crossing over occurs between the 2. But if a chiasmata does form between the t homologous chromosomes they can change information.
