Read each question carefully and provide concise, accurate answers based on your knowledge of meiosis.
1. During which phase of meiosis do homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell?
Prophase I
Anaphase I
Metaphase II
Telophase II
2. Crossing over occurs during which stage of meiosis, leading to genetic recombination?
