nondijunction
They are separated in Anaphase I of Meiosis I.
Chromosomes separate during cell division through a process called mitosis or meiosis. In mitosis, the duplicated chromosomes align at the center of the cell and are then pulled apart by the spindle fibers, ensuring each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes. In meiosis, the process is more complex, involving two rounds of divisions to produce gametes with half the number of chromosomes.
Chromosomes can separate abnormally in meiosis during a process called nondisjunction. This results in an uneven distribution of chromosomes in the sex cells, leading to an incorrect number of chromosomes in the resulting offspring. Nondisjunction can result in conditions such as Down syndrome.
Since they must divide and don't, then the sperm or egg will not be usable.

Homologous chromosomes will separate in the first division of meiosis 1, moving to opposite poles of the cell in a process called disjunction. This results in the reduction of the chromosome number by half.

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.
The process of chromosomes separating during cell division is called "chromosome segregation" or "chromosome disjunction." This ensures that each new cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.
Meiosis I better mirrors the mitosis process because during this stage the homologous chromosomes separate, similar to the way sister chromatids separate during mitosis. Meiosis II, on the other hand, involves separating sister chromatids, which is not seen in mitosis.
The process of meiosis.
Chromatids in eukaryotic cells separate during the process of mitosis or meiosis. In mitosis, chromatids separate during anaphase to form individual chromosomes, while in meiosis, chromatids separate during anaphase II to produce haploid daughter cells.
Allele pairs separate during the process of meiosis, specifically during the anaphase I stage. This is when homologous chromosomes are pulled apart, causing the alleles to separate and end up in different daughter cells.
