This statement is not entirely true. While it is true that maternal and paternal chromatids will orient to opposite poles of the cell, occasionally a crossover event may result in chromatids that do not completely segregate from their homologous pair, leading to a phenomenon called sister chromatid co-segregation. This means that a pair of sister chromatids from one parent may end up in the same gamete, while their homologous pair from the other parent may end up in another gamete.
