Called nondisjunction.
Prophase I is the phase of meiosis.
When chromosomes line up this is generally part of mitosis or meiosis... the process of replicating or splitting and becoming gametes (sex cells).
During prophase I of meiosis, chromatin coils up and condenses into visible chromosomes. This process helps to organize and separate genetic material during cell division.
Mitosis stays diploid throughout. The first part of Meiosis- Meiosis I- is diploid, but after Telophase 1 it becomes haploid throughout Meiosis II. Source: College student in Bio 2: Book using is "Biology"; 8th Edition; Campbell/Reece
Meiosis in the human body is responsible for creating gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes of somatic cells. This ensures genetic diversity in offspring through recombination of genetic material during crossing over. It also helps maintain a constant number of chromosomes in a species across generations.
Prophase I is the phase of meiosis.
The entire cell is dividing just like mitosis except there will be 23 chromosomes instead of 46

Yes, meiosis is a part of the cell cycle that involves the division of cells to produce gametes (sex cells) with half the number of chromosomes.
Meiosis is a two-part cell division process in organisms that sexually reproduce. Meiosis produces gametes with one half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. There are two stages of meiosis: meiosis I and meiosis II. At the end of the meiotic process, four daughter cells are produced. Each of the resulting daughter cells has one half of the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Chromosomes replicate during the S phase of interphase, before meiosis begins. This ensures that each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids, which are then separated during the meiotic divisions to produce haploid cells.

This is known as nondisjunction. It is a mistake that can occur during cell division in meiosis, leading to an incorrect distribution of chromosomes in the resulting gametes.
Crossing over begins early in prophase I of meiosis. At the time, homologous chromosomes Are paired along their lengths. Each gene on one homologue ia alined precisely with the corresponding gene on the other homologue. Source: my science book copy right 2006
Mitosis is division of a cell. Consists of the stages Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telaphase. Mitosis is part of the cell cycle. Meiosis is the division of a sex cell. Such as sperm or egg. Meiosis is unique because it goes through the stages twice. Prophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase I, and Metaphase II, etc.
