The random alignment of homologous pairs of chromosomes during Metaphase 1 allows for independent assortment of genes.
In Mitosis and Meiosis, this event is called Metaphase.
During metaphase.A trick is to remember: "M for metaphase, M for the middle of the cell". This is to remind you that at metaphase the centromeres of the chromosomes are aligned in the plane of the equator.
Metaphase is the third phase of mitosis, when the chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell.
Paired homologous chromosomes are found at the spindle equator during metaphase. During metaphase the chromosomes line up on the plate and attach to the fully formed spindle.
Independent orientation of chromosomes refers to the allignment of the homologous chromosomes along the metaphase plate in metaphase I of meiosis. As the pair of chromosomes line up, one inherited from your mother and the other from your father, there are two orientation possibilities of equal probability; each pole has a 50% chance of inheriting one or the other. This is best explained using the sex chromosomes. Males are XY and females are XX. To differentiate these two female X chromsomes, we will call them Xa and Xb. In Metaphase I of meiosis, the chromosomes can be lined up along the metaphase plate (represented as l) as follows: Male: X l Y or Y l X Female: Xa l Xb or Xb l Xa
Single line of chromosomes is formed at the equatorial plate of Metaphase. The chromosomes start moving in the prophase stage by their terminal ends, guided by inner membrane of the nuclear envelop. The chromosomes at metaphase are in thickest form.
The random alignment of homologous pairs of chromosomes during Metaphase 1 allows for independent assortment of genes.
This is the metaphase.

Metaphase is the stage where the chromosomes are align in the center of the cell.
because in metaphase 2 of meiosis there are 2 different cells, which means the chromosomes duplicated
Chromosomes align on the spindle equator during the metaphase. During the metaphase the chromosomes meet on an imaginary line between the two poles.
