Answer: anaphase I

Explanation: Separation of homologous chromosomes occurs after the formation of tetrads, during anaphase I of meiosis. All of the other answers are processes that occur during both meiosis and mitosis. Both divisions require the condensation of chromosomes and eventual cytokinesis to produce daughter cells.
