During which phase do homologous chromosomes align at the equatorial plate of the cell?

In higher animals,the process of crossing over,which results in genetic recombination,occurs between which of the following?

In which cells does meiosis occur?

In which stage of meiosis do the chromosomes align at the equatorial plate and attach to the spindle fibers in two cells?

Crossing over takes place between which chromatids and in which stage of the cell cycle?

$A-$ In meiosis,during anaphase $I$,homologous chromosomes move to the opposite poles.
$R-$ Each pole receives half the number of chromatids in anaphase $I$.
