C

D
Telophase I
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of Meiosis I, which consists of several phases: Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, and Telophase I.
Recall that homologous chromosomes are pairs of chromosomes, one from each parent, that are similar in shape, size, and genetic content.
During Prophase I, homologous chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over.
In Metaphase I, these homologous pairs align at the metaphase plate, preparing for separation.
Anaphase I is the phase where homologous chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell, leading to their separation.
