What happens during metaphase I in meiosis?

What happens during metaphase I in meiosis?
  1. Homologous chromosomes pair to form bivalents
  2. Bivalents arrange on the equatorial plate
  3. Homologous chromosomes move to the opposite poles with both their chromatids
  4. Nuclear membrane and nucleolus reappear

Solution

During metaphase I in meiosis, the bivalents arrange on the equatorial plate. This is followed by anaphase I in which homologous chromosomes move to the opposite poles with both their chromatids.
