In anaphase I of meiosis, the homologous pairs of chromosomes separate. Due to DNA replication and crossing over during prophase I, these chromosomes consist of a pair of non-identical sister chromatids. During anaphase II of meiosis, the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes.
Homologous chromosomes do not pair in mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division where a cell duplicates its DNA and splits into two identical daughter cells, so the homologous chromosomes do not need to pair up like they do in meiosis.
Meiosis causes the chromosomes to separate and reduce their number in half during cell division.
The pairing of homologous chromosomes before nuclear division occurs in meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in the formation of sex cells (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
The chromosomes number is halved during cell division through meiosis, not mitosis.
Homologous chromosomes pair up during the stage of cell division called meiosis, not mitosis.

The process of meiosis.
Homologous chromosomes pair up during the stage of cell division called meiosis, not mitosis.
In mitotic division, chromosomes are arranged individually in the middle of the cell at metaphase, whereas in the first division of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are paired together in the middle. This pairing of homologous chromosomes is known as synapsis and is unique to meiosis.
During Meiosis, the process at which reproductive cells divide, the new daughter cells will have half the chromosomes as the parent cells. On the other hand, during mitosis, the division of body cells, after the process is over, the daughter cells will have the same amount of chromosomes as the parents.
Before mitosis begins, the cell replicates its chromosomes (so the chromosome number doubles). Then during/after mitosis the cell splits in half - so each daughter cell produced by mitosis has the same chromosome number as the original cell.
Meiosis
Meiosis is a special type of cell division. It is important to reproduce due to the sets of chromosomes in the cell.
During meiosis, a type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg), DNA is replicated once, followed by two rounds of cell division. The process results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, leading to genetic diversity through recombination and independent assortment of chromosomes.
