Detailed explanation-1: -During anaphase I stage of meiosis, the cell starts to lengthen. The two homologs of each chromosome pair separate and move toward opposite poles, drawn by the microtubules of the spindle apparatus. This contrasts with mitosis, where the sister chromatids of each homolog separate and move toward opposite poles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Figure 3: During anaphase I, the homologous chromosomes are pulled toward opposite poles of the cell. During anaphase I, the microtubules disassemble and contract; this, in turn, separates the homologous chromosomes such that the two chromosomes in each pair are pulled toward opposite ends of the cell (Figure 3).

Detailed explanation-4: -During anaphase I, the homologous chromosome pairs separate and are pulled to opposite poles of the cell by spindle fibers attached to the centrioles. This first cell division process is completed during telophase I.

Detailed explanation-5: -The chromosomes continue to move towards the opposite poles until telophase. In telophase, the chromosomes reach the opposite poles, and a new nuclear envelope starts to develop around the chromosomes on the opposite poles.
