chromosomal Translocation
In anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. This is important for reducing the chromosome number by half, ensuring each daughter cell receives a unique set of chromosomes. Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres.
During anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes are pulled apart and moved towards opposite poles of the cell. This separation occurs as the spindle fibers shorten, pulling each homologous chromosome, which consists of two sister chromatids, away from its partner. Unlike in mitosis, where sister chromatids separate, meiosis I involves the segregation of entire homologous chromosomes, reducing the chromosome number by half. This stage is crucial for creating genetic diversity, as it contributes to the random assortment of chromosomes.
In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes are separated into different daughter cells, which is a crucial event that reduces the chromosome number by half, leading to haploid cells. This process involves the pairing and recombination of homologous chromosomes during prophase I, which does not occur in meiosis II. In meiosis II, the focus is on separating sister chromatids, similar to what occurs in mitosis, without any further reduction in chromosome number.
During meiosis, gene pairs, or homologous chromosomes, undergo a process called homologous recombination, where they exchange genetic material. This leads to the formation of new combinations of genes. As meiosis progresses, these homologous chromosomes are separated into different gametes, resulting in cells that contain half the original chromosome number and a unique assortment of genes, contributing to genetic diversity in offspring.

The process during meiotic cell division where there is a separation of homologous pairs of chromosomes is called meiosis I. During this phase, homologous chromosomes line up and then separate to form two daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Homologous chromosomes pairs pull away from each other.

pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator of the cell
During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through crossing over. The homologous chromosomes then separate, reducing the chromosome number by half. During meiosis II, sister chromatids separate, resulting in the formation of four haploid daughter cells, each with a unique combination of genetic material.
It's called crossing over, and it generally only happens between homologous chromosomes.
