Q. During meiotic division, the
A) Homologous chromosomes are separated

In meiotic cell division, homologous chromosomes pair up during zygotene stage of prophase-I, this phenomena is called synapsis. During anaphase-I, homologous chromosomes of each bivalent start migrating towards opposite pole of the spindle, ultimately each pole receives a haploid group of regregated chromosomes.
