Homologous Meiosis Separate Chromosomes I Cell During Metaphase Pairs(tetrads

Text Meiosis: During metaphase I homologous pairs(tetrads) align at the metaphase plate, & each pair attaches to a separate spindle fiber by its kinetochore.
During anaphase I, homologous pairs separate and are pulled to opposite poles of the cell in a process called disjunction
During disjunction, the homologous chromosomes of fraternal/material separate & either chromosome can end up in either daughter cell
 the separating of two homologous chromosomes is called segregation 
Meiosis: During the period of interkinesis, the chromosomes may partially uncoil
Meiosis: during telophase I a nuclear membrane forms around each new nucleus & each chromosome still consists of two sister chromatids joined at the centromere; haploid
