Detailed explanation-1: -So, during metaphase I, homologue pairs-not individual chromosomes-line up at the metaphase plate for separation. The phases of meiosis I. Prophase I: The starting cell is diploid, 2n = 4. Homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange fragments in the process of crossing over.

Detailed explanation-2: -During metaphase I, all of the doubled homologous chromosome pairs line up along the midline of the cell between the two centrioles. During anaphase I, the homologous chromosome pairs separate and are pulled to opposite poles of the cell by spindle fibers attached to the centrioles.

Detailed explanation-3: -Metaphase II: During metaphase, each of the 23 chromosomes line up along the center of the cell at the metaphase plate.

Detailed explanation-4: -In prophase I of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes form the tetrads. In metaphase I, these pairs line up at the midway point between the two poles of the cell to form the metaphase plate.

Detailed explanation-5: -In metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes align on either side of the equatorial plate. Then, in anaphase I, the spindle fibers contract and pull the homologous pairs, each with two chromatids, away from each other and toward each pole of the cell. During telophase I, the chromosomes are enclosed in nuclei.
