Solution:

During metaphase chromosome are arranged at equator to form metaphasic plate and spindle fibre attaches to kinetochore of centromere. Splitting of centromere and separation of chromatids occurs during anaphase of mitosis and Anaphase II of meiosis. In Anaphase I chromosomal pairs separates and this is known as disjunction. Pairing of homologous chromosome occurs during zygotene and is known as synapsis.
