During anaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate and are pulled toward opposite poles of the cell. This means that each member of a bivalent (a pair of homologous chromosomes) moves toward a different pole. Sister chromatids do not separate during anaphase I, as they do in anaphase II. Paired homologues (bivalents) are already attached to each other by the synaptonemal complex during prophase I, and this attachment is broken during anaphase I.
