The crossing over and separation of homologous chromosomes are the main events during meiosis.

Explanation:

  1. Crossing over is the main event In the pachytene sub-stage of prophase-1 of meisis. It helps the recombination of genes. It is main source of variations in the population.
  2. During the telophase-1 of meiosis the homologous chromosomes are moved to the opposite poles. It leads to the reduction of chromosomes number into two daughter cells in the first phase of meiosis. Thank you
