Answer:
metaphase I
Explanation:
The cell cycle encompasses the series of processes that divides a cell into daughter cells. The cell cycle is made of mitosis and meiosis, which are the types of cell divisions. Meiosis occurs in two division steps namely: meiosis I and meiosis II.
The stages in these meiotic process are prophase I and II, metaphase I and II, anaphase I and II, and telophase I and II. Note that, meiosis I involves homologous chromosomes while meiosis II involves sister chromatids. According to this question, Chromosomes pair up in the PROPHASE I stage and remains paired in the metaphase I stage until the separate in the Anaphase stage. Hence, chromosomes will be paired up in the METAPHASE I stage.
