Solution

The correct statement regarding meiosis I is: "During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate."

Here's why:

  1. "During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate." - This is true. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes, each made up of two sister chromatids, pair up and then separate from each other. This process is known as disjunction.

  2. "During meiosis I, sister chromosomes multiply." - This is false. Sister chromosomes, or more accurately, sister chromatids, do not multiply during meiosis I. They remain together until meiosis II.

  3. "During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes multiply." - This is false. Homologous chromosomes do not multiply during meiosis I. Instead, they pair up and then separate from each other.

  4. "During meiosis I, sister chromatids separate." - This is false. Sister chromatids do not separate during meiosis I. They remain together until meiosis II, where they are finally separated.
