Detailed explanation-1: -Pairing of homologous chromosomes is called synapsis. Synapsis occurs only during meiosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -This process is known as synapsis. Synapsis is when crossing over occurs. During crossing over, DNA is exchanged between two nonsister chromatids of a homologous pair of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The events that occur in meiosis but not mitosis include homologous chromosomes pairing up, crossing over, and lining up along the metaphase plate in tetrads.

Detailed explanation-4: -During meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and separate. Homologous chromosomes do not function the same in mitosis as they do in meiosis. Prior to every single mitotic division, a cell undergoes, the DNA in the parent cell replicate themselves.

Detailed explanation-5: -The homologous chromosomes separate into different nuclei during meiosis I, causing a reduction of ploidy level in the first division. The second division of meiosis is more similar to a mitotic division, except that the daughter cells do not contain identical genomes because of crossover.
